This week we will be learning about the MAYA, INCA, and AZTECS!  We will be writing symbols, learning about culture and a different way of life in the early civilizations.  We will be doing LOTS of art from this time period!

In reading, we will continue to talk about Responsibility.  We will read "Arthur's Pet Business" and make charts of ways that we are responsible and ways we CAN be responsible as we are 6 and 7 now! (Parents usually LOVE this week!)  We will be giving out more things to be responsible for too!  We will continue to blend words, decode, and learn and point out ending sounds in magazines and books on a chart.  We will review the sounds wh, w, and -er, -ir, and -ur too.

In Math we will be working on counting to 100 by 10's, 5's, and 2's, learning how to solve problems with complicated stories, and will be adding to knowing our math facts.

A BIG thank you to my CLASS and sweet parents for celebrating my birthday this week!  I felt so special!!!!!!  -  Mrs. Bryant =)

 The first graders have learned about kindness and friendship this month.  They made friendship bracelets and then delivered them to everyone in the school to remind them to be kind!
