Week in Review

Thank you all for helping your children get the turkeys disguised and back to school. The children are enjoying seeing them in the hall and reading about each turkey's adventure.

This week, we began our unit on Number Sense/Place Value with numbers to 99. During this unit we will be working on building numbers with models, objects and tens and ones. We will practice skip counting, counting forward and backward, comparing numbers using <,>,= and building sets that represent numbers larger or smaller than a given number.

In science we completed our study of different types of soil. We investigated properties of soil such as texture, color, size of particles and uses for various types. 

In social studies, we studied characteristics of good citizenship and the role of citizens in a constitutional republic, including the importance of voting. Students will be introduced to the idea of patriotism and how we demonstrate our patriotism through national symbols, holidays, and events.
