During language jobs, first graders explored nouns, compound words, and completed several phonics jobs. Second graders worked with noun families and put words into alphabetical order by looking at the second or third letter. Third graders reviewed grammar symbols and alphabetical order.
During math jobs, first graders used the golden beads or stamp game to complete addition problems, practiced telling time, and used the bead chains to practice skip counting. Second Graders completed addition and multiplication problems, practiced telling time, and reviewed skip counting by 2's, 5's, and 10's. Third graders completed multiplication problems using the checkerboard, practiced telling time, and reviewed skip counting by 2's, 5's, 10's.
These were just some of the many jobs students completed this week! Students were also extremely excited and engaged as they did science experiments which explored the states of matter, heard creation stories from different cultures, and explored globes and our Earth!
This coming week, we will continue to work and grow as a learning community. Students will work with grammar symbols, telling time, phonics, fractions, and geometry (study of triangles, basic shapes, and quadrilaterals). We will also continue science experiments which stemmed from the First Great Lesson - The Coming of the Universe.
