We enjoyed celebrating the 100th day of school this week!
This week, we began learning about fractions. We learned about the vocabulary term partition, and partitioned shapes into equal halves, thirds, and fourths. We also learned about the vocabulary terms numerator and denominator and what those numbers represent in a fraction.Â
In reading, we worked on identifying the main idea and supporting details from nonfiction text.
In science we continued our unit on weather. Â
Request for LEGO Donations for LEGO Club
We are looking to enhance our LEGO Club by incorporating LEGO bricks into our lessons and activities for kindergarten through second grade.
We would greatly appreciate it if you would consider donating any unused or unwanted LEGO sets or pieces that you may have at home. These donations will be used primarily for STEM challenges. No contribution is too small, and any LEGO pieces—whether large or small, complete or partial—would be incredibly helpful.
If you have any LEGO pieces you’re willing to part with, please send them in with your child or feel free to drop them off in the foyer with Lego Club or Mrs. Griffard labeled on them. If you have any questions or would like more details, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you so much for your support and generosity. We’re excited to see the creativity and learning that will come from this project!
