First grade students began the first full week of school with a daily review, which will be completed each day during our morning work time. Students will work independently to answer questions, and then we will check our work as a group at morning meeting. The daily review consists of both language and math related questions. It provides students with frequent and focused practice, serving as both a review and preview of skills. Through the math portion, students practice number sense, computation, and word problems in addition to questions relating to geometry, algebra, measurement, and data analysis.
