Grade 1
Math:

• They are working on using those manipulatives to figure out 10 more than or less than a number.
• They are also learning the terms and signs for greater than and less than.
• Parent Newsletter for Math 

E/LA:

• The children continue to work on decoding comprehension skills in theirguided reading groups.
