Learning highlights from the week:
Math: First grade started a new unit on number sense and computation. We are working on automaticity of doubles facts, doubles plus one and combinations to 10. Second graders worked on place value with a focus on tens and ones, solving problems with efficient strategies and adding coins.
Reading: Our Word of the Week (W.O.W.) is perplex! We read and discussed this word throughout our week. In addition, this week’s focus was the introduction of new word features. Students also worked in their book clubs continuing to identify character traits, both physical and behavioral.
Writing: We continued working on our small moments unit. Students have been elaborating their stories by increasing details including actions, thoughts and feelings. We have also been discussing how to wrap up a story. We will wrap up these stories next week!
Science: We are continuing our work in our geology unit! This week we learned why some areas flood frequently. We learned about different types of soil. Next week we will continue to learn more about erosion.
Mindfulness: For the month of November we are focusing on gratitude. Students have been practicing reflecting on what they are thankful for. We have begun discussing all the small things we are grateful for and during the All School Morning Meeting students thanked the bike path committee for their time and generosity in building our amazing new UCS bike path.
