ELA:
This week in ELA, students created heartfelt Valentine’s Day dialogue projects, practicing the use of quotations and speaker tags. We also continued reading Ways to Make Sunshine and completed a postcard writing activity to Ryan, offering support and encouragement based on events from the story.

Math:
In Math, we deepened our understanding of multiplication and connected it to division by working with fact families. We are now officially launching into our division unit! The students also got introduced to calculating the area of a rectangle through a hands-on task to calculate the area of our classroom using only rulers and yardsticks.  

Social Studies:
In Social Studies, we continued learning about guide dogs and the important impact they have on their people. We were especially excited to welcome Guide Dogs of America into our classroom on Tuesday for a lovely and meaningful visitation.

Science:

In Science, students participated in a fun and engaging obstacle course activity on the Dream Court. One partner was blindfolded while the other acted as their guide, helping them safely navigate the course. This hands-on experience helped students better understand the role of guide dogs and the trust and communication involved.
