Celebrating Ms. Broome and More!

Learning highlights from the week:

Math- 

First graders are beginning a unit on place value.  The understanding that 10 ones is the same as 1 ten is a foundational idea for first grade, and the bases of future place value learning.  

Second graders began their end of unit assessment but we have not finished.  We will continue to finish that up and begin our new unit next week.

Reading- Students continued to work with R-Controlled Vowels or Silent “e” words this week. Next week we will wrap up those spelling patterns. In addition, students finish plant books with Ms. Broome. They read interesting facts about plants!

Science- This week students continued to observe their cattle bean plants! It is amazing how quickly the plants have sprouted. We will continue with plants and their needs until April break. 

Mindfulness-  We continued our talk  about respect for self and others, and how to keep our bodies in the “green zone” during the school day.  The “green zone” is when we are regulated and our prefrontal cortex is able to function at its best, helping us to be good thinkers and learners.
