Games, Biking, and a Guest Reader!

Learning highlights from the week:

Math- 

First graders continue to work on their unit on place value.    

Second graders continue to work on subtraction, and they are now adding numbers over 100.  Here’s an example of how they’re doing it in case you want them to show you!

345 + 223=       300 + 40 + 5  358 + 437 =   300 + 50 + 8

   +200 + 20 + 3 + 400 + 30 + 7

                  500 + 60 + 8 = 568    700 + 80 + 15 = 795

Reading-   We have begun end of year assessments and continue to work on author’s craft while reading.  

Writing-This week our focus has been on giving evidence to support our book reviews. We are hoping to wrap them up this week!

Mindfulness-  We continue to talk a lot about following the group plan and how to keep our bodies in the “green zone” during the school day.   With the days getting warmer this time of year, it always becomes more difficult to follow classroom expectations and stay focused and learning.  We’ll keep working on this, I know they  can do it!
