Writing
This week, first grade scholars continued learning how to write a letter. They practiced writing letters to community helpers in our school. First graders were each assigned someone to write to who works at The Cooper School. Scholars were excited to ask questions in their letters to learn more about what everyone at our school does and what all they do throughout the day! We can’t wait to hand these letters off!
Handwriting
This week, our scholars have been all about perfecting their handwriting. First graders have been working on writing their numbers from 0 to 50 and also writing the alphabet. Scholars focused on writing lower-case letters and upper-case letters. Our handwriting is coming out amazing!
Read Aloud
First graders have loved our daily read-aloud of Mrs. Piggle Wiggle by Betty MacDonald. We finished the first book of this series and we have moved on to another series called “Dory Fantasmagory” by Abby Hanlon. First graders are enjoying this series so much that we are almost done with the first book already! Ask your child what their favorite part of the book is so far.
