En escritura los estudiantes conoceran la cultura y tradiciones de Nicaragua.
In Math, students will Mathematicians use strategies based on place value, properties of operations, or the relationship between addition and subtraction to add fluently with the sum to 1,000.
In Science, students will be meeting in small groups to review the performance task checklist. During these meetings, they will receive feedback, answer questions about their plans, and clear up any areas of confusion. This process will help guide their next steps and strengthen their understanding of the task.
Finally, in Social Emotional Learning students will discuss the importance of getting to know each other, and how finding commonalities and differences can help us understand and appreciate each other more.

Learning Goal
This week in class, students will be meeting in small groups with the teacher to review the performance task checklist. During these meetings, they will receive feedback, answer questions about their plans, and clear up any areas of confusion. This process will help guide their next steps and strengthen their understanding of the task.
At home, scientists can prepare by reviewing their notes and the performance task checklist. Talking through their ideas with a family member can also help them organize their thinking and notice areas they may want to clarify with their teacher.
Learning Goal
Discuss with students the importance of getting to know each other, and how finding commonalities and differences can help us understand and appreciate each other more.
Next week, students will focus on building connections through the theme Getting to Know One Another. We will discuss the importance of learning about each other, exploring both our commonalities and differences, and how this helps us develop understanding, appreciation, and respect. Students will be reminded of our Word Jar and the key idea of community, reinforcing how each person contributes to creating a positive and supportive classroom environment.
At home, learners can practise getting to know others by sharing their favourite activities, foods, or hobbies with family and listening in return. They can look for similarities and differences, talk about how these make each person unique, and ask kind questions to learn more about others. Families can also remind children that just like at school, home is a community where everyone works together and shows appreciation for one another.
