We explored apple farms this week as part of our Farm to Table- Farms Make Vermont Unit. We used peeled and chopped apples and cooked them in the crockpot to make delicious applesauce! Everyone gave it a try and almost everyone LOVED it! Next week we will learn about pumpkin farms.
Learning highlights from the week:
Math- Second graders have finished up their first unit and will be taking the assessment on Monday. Our next unit will be a numeracy unit with the focus of adding and subtracting within 100 and problems with an unknown change (missing addend). EXAMPLE: 34 + ______ = 50.
First Graders wrapped up our geometry unit and will start a new unit called “How many of Each”. Students will be putting together and taking apart numbers in the teens. We want students to understand that numbers in their teens are a group of 10 and some more. We begin this work by using 10’s frames to help students visualize this concept.
Literacy- Literacy stations continue to go well. Highlights of the week include mapping sounds, playing “Roll and Read”, sight word games, and listening to stories.
Writing-We continued to work on our small moments stories about things we like and things we do. Students worked on adding details to their stories.
Mindfulness- We are continuing with our school theme for the month, courage. Who do you know that is courageous? How do they show courage?
