Students have been studying addition and subtraction in math! We are hoping to start getting faster! A great way to practice is on the computer. In order to use this program you will need a one time code. This will come in your students yellow folder tonight. Please save this for future reference! This site keeps track of your child's progress and only take a few minutes each day! After passing addition facts they will get a certificate and move on to subtraction!
Please remember that tomorrow Friday, October 11th is picture day! Please send your child's money with them in the morning.
In science this month we have been working on our balls and ramps unit. Students get the opportunity to discuss the properties of different balls. What makes them roll? What materials help them bounce? We will end our unit with a trip to the Children's Museum and a balls and ramps day!
Cedar Rapids is trying to become a blue zone district! This is an initiative to get healthy. As part of the effort first grade is asking that parents bring fruits and vegetables as snacks rather than cupcakes, cookies or other sweets. This also helps with the growing amount of students with allergies specifically gluten. Thank you for understanding and helping us be blue! :D
