TECHNOLOGY THURSDAY

LIFT groups have been meeting daily since September 24. My group and Mrs. Koerner's group are working on digraphs. Digraphs are 2 letters that go together to make one sound. Here is a game that will reinforce the "ck" ending we use with words. The first graders recently had spelling words with this sound. In Math we are working on addition. These math games will help your child use their counting on skills. The children have enjoyed learning about Christopher Columbus this week. The first website posted is a video which we watched in the classroom. Did you know that Christopher Columbus' first trip he had 90 sailors and that his ships were not very big. They were about the size of a tennis court!
