Week in Review : February 17-20

We had a wonderful, but chilly, week in Lower Elementary! Students were busy with research, jobs, and learning our two songs which we will perform at the International Festival!

For language jobs this week, first graders reviewed antonyms and were introduced to prepositions. Second graders practiced paraphrasing, wrote sentences with adverbs, and separated words into syllables. Third graders were introduced to conjunctions, worked with analogies, practiced paraphrasing text, and separated words into syllables.

For math jobs this week, first graders practiced identifying even and odd numbers, compared numbers, identified types of lines, solved multiplication problems using the checkerboard, and reviewed number words. Second graders worked with expanded notation, compared numbers, solved division problems using the stamp game, and practiced division facts. Third graders worked with expanded notation, solved division problems, and explored divisibility.

For cultural jobs this week, students explored the history and meanings behind the flag of Argentina. Students also continued to prepare for the International Festival on Saturday, February 28th, by learning two children's songs commonly sung in South America.

Next week, students will continue to prepare for the International Festival. Students will also complete quarterly reviews, take STAR Reading and STAR Math tests, and select choice jobs from the shelves! It will be a great week!

Reminders
International Festival - Students will present two songs from Argentina during the International Festival on Saturday, February 28th. More information on the exact time of our performance will come shortly! Please consider coming out and seeing all the countries represented! It will be a great time!
