Week 26 and 27

Week 27: March 11-15

Mystery Readers

To celebrate March is Reading Month, please consider joining us as a MYSTERY READER. Shhhh…..! Don’t tell your Firstie! Sign up here for your slot to read!


Pajama Party

Reminder: our program is at 5pm on Wednesday, March 27. Please be sure your Firstie is practicing their lines. We find that most students need to be encouraged to speak more slowly than normal in order to be understood by the audience.


Ask your Firstie

  • What does it mean to add the ones and add the tens? Ask them to show you in problems like: 54 + 19 and 76 + 16

  • Can you predict what will happen next?

  • What is a glossary?

  • What is an index?

  • What is a table of contents?

  • Can you name 4 different animal habitats?

  • What is a trait?

  • What are some ways to spell the /j/ sound?

  • What does it mean to combine something?

  • If Jack picked up 27 pieces of trash and Jess picked up 21 pieces of trash, who picked up more pieces? How many more pieces? Will we add or subtract to figure this out? 

  • What do we call the answer in a subtraction equation?

  • What do we call the answer in an additional equation?

  • Can you name some 2 digit numbers that are even? Odd?

  • In the number 45, what is the value of the 5? What is the value of the 4?

  • What is something you appreciate? Why?
