Hello Families,
We are ready for some warm spring weather! Despite the weather, we still had a terrific week! We had the BRMS 6th grade band and chorus come perform for us and we took on a mission of kindness and made cards for a former UCS para professional who isn't feeling well. Once I told the students that she needed some UCS kindness, they sprung into action making the most beautiful and thoughtful cards. We will start the biking week in PE on May 27th , please see information below from Mrs. Cowan.
I hope everyone enjoys the long weekend!
Be well, Mrs. Ferreira
Learning Highlights from the Week
First Grade
We continued diving deep into place value and adding and subtracting using our knowledge of groups of tens.
i.e. Build 60 remove 20 or Build 50 add 40
Second Grade
We continue our work with adding and subtracting using place value concepts.
i.e. We have 100 pencils and 57 students, how many left over pencils will we have?
Students began their end of year assessments, they have grown so much this year as readers!
We will continue to dig deep into comprehension skills and work on reading phonics features learned with fluency.
We worked on writing the problem and solution to our stories, adding action, feeling and a lesson to stories. The students are looking forward to creating their 3D settings!
