November First Grade News It’s hard to believe the first quarter has come to an end. November will be a busy month, including American Education week, where we will have a great activity planned for you and your child. We hope that you will be able to join us. Please be on the lookout for further information from your child’s teacher. Next week you will receive information regarding our field trip. Please note that permission slips and fees will be due on November 13th. Math In math this month, we will be working on fractions. As you complete activities at home, like cooking or cutting certain foods (apples, pizza), take the time to discuss how each piece makes up the whole item. Content This month we will be working on map skills. This is a great time to talk about our community, points of interest, and where they are located. This can be done while on a walk or driving in your car.
