Hello Families,
We enjoyed our author visit and learned so much about the process of drawing and writing a book!
Research on animals is in full swing and students are SO excited. We will have an additional art class next week to get started on creating our animals for our classroom museum. We will be inviting families to view our hard work in March.
We will have Buddy from Poker Hill School come visit and play music with us this week and next week we will have spirit week, please see below for a link with more details.
Learning Highlights from the Week
First Grade
We worked on combinations of 10, learning new math games and started non standard measurement.
Second Grade
We continue to work on adding and subtracting using place value and learning new games for independent work time.
Students are working on suffix endings, r controlled vowels, ph and ng digraphs and y as the sound as i and e.
We continue to work on building our fluency by repeated readings of texts.
Students are researching diet, habitat, body and interesting facts about their animals. We are learning how to elaborate on facts and write interesting topic/closing sentences that will interest our readers!
