We had so much fun diving into fractions this week! Fourth graders labeled them on a number line while fifth graders used different methods to find equivalent fractions. In reading, we activated our prior knowledge as we learned about different issues facing our world. We also continued working on our president biographies, noting important information that goes into each part.

It's amazing how much learning you can fit into a 5-day school week! This week in math, second grade worked hard on addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers with regrouping. Third graders have been learning all about multiplication and division. In writing, students have been taking another look at their non-fiction writing pieces to add comparisons, adverbs, and combine and vary sentences so that their writing is detailed and interesting to read. Finally, we completed our science unit on force and energy.

We've had a busy full week in 1st grade! We continued to research our country the Philippines for International night. Mrs. Martin sent in a story from the Philippines called Mango Trees and we learned that these trees greatly influence their lifestyle and culture. In phonics we continued to work on short vowels, in math we continued to work on place value, and in reading we worked on character traits.

This week in kindergarten we continued to practice blending CVC words and sorting real and nonsense words.
We also read about different Arctic animals and completed a directed drawing of a Walrus.
|
|
|
This week our letters were w and t and the number was 15. We learned about different polar animals this week; we built artic dens, measured the length of arctic animals, and even labeled a polar bear. We also continued our study of Scotland and learned about different animals that live there like puffins, red deer, and hairy coos. We even talked about legends that are popular in Scotland like the "Loch-Ness" monster and fairies.

We had a great week learning about the letter P, the number 15, and counting to 50. We learned the
P-U-R-P-L-E song and ate pretzels and popcorn. We are learning more and more about our country and where we live.
|
|
|
We are pleased as punch with the letter P! We learned about penguins, pigs, paint, and prayer! We also got to measure things that were long and short and learn about the number 15.
|
|
|
It was a perfect week with the letter Pp and the number 15. We talked about so many P things! Penguins, Pirates, Parrots, Pencils, Pink, Ponies, Pigs, Pancakes, Popcorn, Pineapple, and Pizza. We had so much fun tasting popcorn and pineapple. And we had pancakes and pizza for our lunches this week! Flo finally made her way to visit. She loves watching us be bucket fillers!
