Book Clubs, Opinion Writing and Outside Play in the Rain!

Learning highlights from the week:

Math-  First graders are busy adding and subtracting using place value concepts.  This work helps solidify place value which is so critical in second grade.   Second graders have been working on subtraction of 2 digit numbers.  Students took an assessment on this skill on Thursday and everyone did an amazing job!  On Friday they worked on using expanded form to add 3 digit numbers. 

Reading-   Students have been getting back into the swing of reading this week after a week off.  All students are in book clubs and learning about characters.

Writing-We are beginning to wrap up our persuasive writing. Students selected their favorite book and are writing a book review.

Mindfulness-  May’s theme during mindfulness is perseverance.  We will be talking about how to keep going, even when work is difficult.
