Week in Review : April 22 - 25

We had another great week in Lower Elementary! Even though it was a short week, we worked very hard and accomplished a lot! 

For language jobs this week,  First grade students found inferences in poetry and practiced reading comprehension skills.  Second grade students had practice with poetry and reading comprehension skills. Third Grade students were introduced to various types of poetry and practiced reading comprehension skills.

For math jobs this week,  First grade practiced identifying geometric solids, worked with subtraction facts, and explored liquid measurement conversion. Second grade students sorted geometric solid shapes, had practice with division, and explored liquid measurement conversion. Third Grade students practiced all their math facts, identified vertices, edges, and faces of the geometric solids, and practiced liquid measurement conversion.  

In history, students discussed which service project they would like to do during the month of May. Be on the look out for more information about how you can help our students make a difference!

In science, students continued to study vertebrates. Students have compared/contrasted amphibians and reptiles. As a follow up, students completed the 3 part cards for either the amphibian or reptile and then filled out a Venn Diagram (comparing and contrasting the two) with a partner!  

Next week, students will be busy at work exploring poetry, working with fractions, telling time, completing word problems, and editing text. 

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. 

- Per the handbook, if a student has a fever or vomiting, they may not return to school for 24 hours. This simple practice helps all of us to be present and ready to work each day.
