In science, we continued studying the planets and the solar system. Students have learned facts about each planet, compared the sizes and atmospheric makeup of the planets, and explored how gravity and centripetal forces cause the planets to spin in orderly paths around the sun! Students were also introduced to Protists through their work with microscopes and pond water.
For math and language jobs, First grade students were introduced to homographs, counted coins and added numbers in the thousands place using golden beads. Second graders worked with past tense verbs, reviewed polygons, and used the commutative property when adding. Third graders were introduced to prepositions, reviewed polygons, and worked with missing addends. All students received a presentation on classifying objects.
This coming week, students will receive presentations on suffixes, using tally marks to record seasonal changes, finding lines of symmetry in polygons, and much more!
