Growing Cattle Beans and More!

Learning highlights from the week:

• Math First Grade: Students did a mini unit on time with Ms. Broome.

• Math Second Grade:  Second graders continue working on efficient strategies for addition.  We are trying to move away from the use of a number line and think about place value when adding numbers.

•  Reading: We continue our work with spelling/reading patterns, and studying character traits.  We are reading about character traits and changes. We will be moving to setting, plots, and problems/solutions next week!

• Plants: Students are learning all about plants and their needs! They planted cattle beans and are journaling about their development. 

• Science:  We are all very excited about the upcoming eclipse.  Check backpacks for your child’s eclipse glasses.

• Mindfulness: As always, focused breathing is such an important part of our day.  We also continued work on kindness, both noticing it and practicing it.

Here is a great book about kindness you might like to share with your child.
