Learning highlights from the week:
Math- Second graders continued working on “enough for the class” problems.
Example: Ms Green has 24 students and 16 pencils. Does she have enough pencils for the class? How many more does she need? I am looking for students to not only solve the problem, but to represent it with an equation and show proof of their thinking.
First graders continued to work on solving addition and subtraction problems using equations. We will begin a new unit on Tuesday focusing on geometry.
Reading- Our Reading Workshop is broken down into 4 stations. Everyday students do at least 3. They are Read to Self, Listen to Reading, Word Work/phonics, and working with Mrs. Hackett. Students have done a great job learning our routine.
Writing-We have been talking about what makes a sentence this week. We have discussed that a sentence needs a capital letter at the beginning; a period, exclamation point or question mark at the end and it has to be a complete thought. In addition we started to write personal narratives. These are stories about things that have happened or things we like to do.
Mindfulness- This week we focused on ways to self regulate. We learned that you must be in the green zone to be just right for learning. We learned ways to help keep your body calm and focused. Check out our focus in these pictures!
