Week in Review : August 26th - 30th


We had another wonderful week in Lower Elementary! 

During language jobs, First graders were introduced to articles, Second graders worked with verbs, and Third graders worked with verb tenses. During math jobs, all students were introduced to (or reviewed) even and odd numbers. Students also explored various ways to combine triangles to make other shapes such as parallelograms, trapezoids, and rhombuses. We ended our week with a special celebration of Dr. Maria Montessori's birthday! She would have been 143 on August 31st! 

This coming week, students will work with fractions (fraction families, comparing fractions, and adding fractions), thesaurus and dictionary skills, and grammar (antonyms, synonyms, and prefixes). Students will also work with a "Year and Its Parts" as well as explore a lesson with the "Drama of the Archeozoic Ocean."  

REMINDERS:
- All homework is typically sent home on Monday and is to be completed during the week. It is due on Friday. Students will be given Spelling tests and Math Timed tests in class every Friday.

-Work Binders will be sent home on Tuesday, September 3rd. Please review your child's work, initial, and send back on Wednesday, September 4th. 

-Reading Logs are to be signed each night. Be sure to return them each day in your child's red folder.


Have a great week!
