Hello Families,
We had such a fun filled week before break! Buddy came to sing with us, we did some more science experiments and channel 5 weather came on Friday! We also celebrated Ms. Connie in the office on Friday as it was National Admin Assistant day! The energy and excitement around the building was magical.
We kicked off our learning about perspective taking. This can be very hard for first and second graders! We are learning that our classmates may have a different opinion about something or may have had a different experience when social conflict happens. We are learning how to share our perspectives, listen to the perspectives of our peers and be peaceful problem solvers.
Learning Highlights from the Week
First Grade
Both first and second grade finished unit 5 and are heading into more place value units!
We continue to dig deep into comprehension skills and work on reading phonics features learned with fluency.
We worked on all parts of an opinion piece and worked on using linking words such also, next, in addition, finally.
During science time, we continued learning about vibrations. We experimented with tuning forks and bowls of water...the outcome was a surprise to all!
