First Grade - Week of February 20

The first graders worked with math concepts this week in computer lab.  During typing warm up we had a contest to see who could type the most numbers.  Our record was 134 by a student in Mrs. Stallard's class.  Our question of the day also focused on numbers.  Where do you see numbers and what do we use numbers for?  Lots of great answers including speed limit signs and numbers on team uniforms.  
In their classrooms, they are learning "The Doubles Rap" to help them recall double math problems such as 5 + 5 = 10.  So we are in the process of making PowerPoints to help reinforce what they are learning in the classroom.  This project will take more than one class period to complete, so when it's finished I will post some examples.  Next week we will be celebrating Dr. Seuss for Read Across America, so the following week we will finish our Doubles Rap project.
