Welcome to Room 4 First Grade !

Cat in the Hat 

My goal for all students is that they experience the joy of learning and the pride in social growth. As a classroom we continuously construct our sense of community and promote positive relationships among peers and adults. All students in our classroom are valued and appreciated because all are amazing learners and teachers.

Math

In First Grade, students are learning their addition and subtraction
math facts to 10 and are developing strategies for more challenging addition
and subtraction problems.  Students are learning the part, part, whole relationship between numbers to understand how addition and subtraction are related.
  My goal is for students to deeply understand number relationships so they can choose an effective strategy in math problem solving.
