Learning highlights from the week:
Math- 1st Grade math students Students continued their work with 2D shapes. They are learning to use attributes to describe shapes and compose and decompose shapes. Second Graders continue their work with story problems. Their focus is using an efficient strategy to accurately solve both addition and subtraction problems. Students are using Counting on and Counting back strategies as well as number lines and some are even breaking apart 10’s and 1’s to add.
Literacy- Our word of the week or WOW word is colossal. Each week students will add a new tier 3 vocabulary word to our word journals! Students love to use the words and incorporate them into conversation. Students are also working on decoding new word features and applying those skills in texts. Students are bringing home books to share with their families. Please practice the books at home and then return them. If the books are paper printed, they can stay at home.
Writing- Students are working to add more details and use all the sounds they hear to spell a word. Our stories are about things we do and adventures we are a part of.
Science- This week we took a break from our geology unit and learned a little bit about our skeleton. We learned that our skeleton holds up our body! We made our own x-ray hands!
Mindfulness- Our current focus is on self regulation and volume control. We are working using a level 1 volume (whisper) during work times. We will be adding time with Miss Gigi, our district specialist, to help improve our self-regulation skills.
