Learning highlights from the week:
Math- The first graders are still continuing their focus on place value and its use in adding and subtracting within 20. I am linking some fun games you can play at home to help. All you need is a deck of cards (Face cards and 10’s removed) Partners to 10 are ( 1 and 9, 2 and 8, 3 and 7, etc).
Second graders are finishing up a unit assessment and beginning work on place value over 100. This includes adding and subtracting 10’s from any hundreds number.
Reading- The work on nonfiction continues. We are reading a variety of nonfiction titles and learning about our world, animals, dinosaurs, etc. Along with this study of nonfiction, we continue our work on phonics and comprehension.
Writing- Students are working on their animal research books. This week we started the chapter on the body of their animal. Everyone is so proud of their work. I can’t wait to share it all with you. We will be having families in to share our work before February vacation. I will have more details on this soon.
Mindfulness- We are continuing our work on self-regulation. Students are practicing strategies to maintain focus and reduce impulsive behaviors. We are working on keeping things in our “think bubble” instead of blurting them out.
