Week in Review - Oct. 14th-18th

Even though it was a short week, our students were busy at work!

For  language jobs this week,  First grade students were introduced to homonyms, reviewed suffixes, and worked with articles and adjectives. Second grade students worked with homonyms, reviewed common and proper nouns, and completed work with verbs. Third grade students worked with homonyms, practiced capitalizing the names of cities and states, and worked with preposition boxes. 

For  math jobs this week,  First grade students built numbers with the stamp game, reviewed telling time to the hour and half hour, and continued writing number words to 100. Second grade students worked with multiplication using the stamp game, reviewed money, and compared numbers to the hundred thousands place. Third grade students practiced their multiplication skills, were introduced to elapsed time, and completed word problems involving money.  

For science this week, students began working together in teams to create a new planet. They were tasked with naming the planet, determining the distance it is from the sun, describing the effect of gravity on the planet, and describing its surface. We can't wait to see what the students create! 

This coming week, students will receive presentations on the next Great Lesson (the needs of humans), complete additional work with homonyms, work with rounding numbers and fractions, write number words, and much more!

REMINDERS:

-October 31st will be our Halloween Party. Students are invited to dress up as a book character, a famous person from history, or an animal. We ask students to refrain from bringing any type of weapon as part of their costumes. Students should also write a paragraph about the character, famous person, or animal they are dressed up as.  Students will participate in a school-wide costume parade followed by a time of games and snacks in the classroom! Be on the lookout for an email about how you can help! 

-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!
