Learning highlights from the week:
Math- Second graders are working on combinations of numbers under 20 as well as an exploration of coin names and their value. First graders have been practicing counting, playing Roll and Record and Double Compare!
Reading- Because we will be running literacy time using skill stations this year, the focus of our time right now continues to be how we function within a center model. This includes; rotating through stations, building stamina and keeping our voice level low while reviewing letter sounds.
Writing- This week we are working on self-portraits and basic handwriting skills. Letter formation and conventions are the foundation of our writing skills for the year.
Social-Emotional Learning- We are learning all about the brain! Students learned that the Prefrontal Cortex (PFC) is your wise leader and helps you to stop, think and make a good choice. They also learned that the Amygdala is your feelings center. We are learning how to regulate our bodies so we can learn.
- Celebrations- This week we celebrated International Dot Day! We read the story The Dot by Peter Reynolds, sang the song and created Dot Art to help inspire everyone to make their mark! Here is the link to the book and the song!
