Mrs. Litts' First Grade

Hello! My name is Cynthia Litts. I am a member of the First Grade Professional Learning Community at Davis Elementary School.

I graduated in 1991 from Whitman College here in Walla Walla, with a Bachelors degree in Psychology. I earned my Masters degree from Heritage University in 1997. Continuing my own education is always a priority to show the children that we never stop learning!

I have been teaching at Davis for 20 years. My teaching experience has encompassed First and Second grades in traditional, multi-age, and looping configurations. I thoroughly enjoy teaching children in First Grade and watching them turn on the reading and writing 'light bulbs!'

**If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call me at school or click on my name above to email me. Thank you!

We are the Litts Leopard Frogs!!

January Learning Topics

In math we will continue to work on problem solving skills in math and will learn strategies to put numbers together and take them apart. We will also learn and practice more math facts in addition and subtraction. The children will also be learning how to tell time to the half hour and will practice counting change with pennies, nickels and dimes.
