Learning highlights from the week:
Math- First grade students continue to work on building 10 and some more using 10’s frames. The big idea is the understanding would be that, for example 10 + 4 is the same as 14. This idea is the building block for place value. Second graders have been working on place value. They have been using 10’s and 1’s to solve mystery pictures.
Reading- Our hard work on blending and segmenting words, heart words, book box reading and book clubs continue. We have also been practicing our automaticity with short vowel sounds. Our W.O.W. word is gratitude.
Writing-We finished up our narrative writing unit with a writing share with Kindergarten. After break we will be taking some time to focus on handwriting and forming letters correctly. This is a great time of year to do a quick handwriting check in.
Science- We wrapped up our unit on geology this week. We created cornmeal canyons and learned how water causes erosion. Then we experimented with ways to prevent erosion. THANK YOU to all the families that donated supplies for these experiments! After break we will start our world explorers unit where we will travel around the world! This is a favorite of all!
