Learning highlights from the week:
Math: First graders are working on finding many ways to add the same number. For example all the combinations that add up to 9. Grade 2 worked on place value with a focus on tens and ones, solving problems with efficient strategies and adding coins.
Reading: We practiced sight words, mapping both the expected and unexpected sounds. We worked on stretching out the sounds of letters in words to help us with both reading and spelling. Students also worked in their book groups. Some are working on sharing favorite parts of their book others are working on character traits.
Writing: We continued working on our small moments unit. Students have been brainstorming moments that are true and writing with increasing detail including actions, thoughts and feelings.
Mindfulness: For the month of November we will be focusing on gratitude. Students have been practicing reflecting on what they are thankful for. This coming week we will begin a gratitude journal in which students will make an entry each day about something they are grateful for.
Social Studies- We are continuing with our Farm to Table- Farms of Vermont Unit. This week we enjoyed learning about Dairy Farms. We enjoyed making butter! Next week we will learn about fiber farms.
