• Fry Words-how, will, up, other, about-
• Consonant Blends pl, sl, bl, fl
• Grammar- Personal & Possessive pronouns

Math: Our math lessons each day will include computational fluency, fact fluency, and core math instruction focused on the first grade common core math standards. Computational fluency will help the students to use the most effective and efficient strategies. Fact Fluency is working with both addition and subtraction facts within 10. At our goal is to have students complete 22 addition facts in one minute and 22 subtraction facts in one minute. Our core lessons will include hands-on math activities and games that support the common core.
