For language jobs, first graders spelled color words, were introduced to antonyms, and practiced spelling sight words with the moveable alphabet. Second graders wrote sentences with sight words, worked with verb tenses ( past, present, future), and had further work with antonyms and synonyms. Third graders located synonyms and antonyms in a thesaurus and had further work with adverbs.
For math jobs, first graders solved large addition problems, spelled number words, worked with fractions, and compared numbers up to the thousands place. Second graders practiced solving large addition and multiplication problems, read number words, found equivalent fractions, compared numbers, and practiced counting coins. Third graders found equivalent fractions, practiced all math operations, read number words, compared numbers, and solved addition word problems involving sums of money.
For cultural lessons, students explored clocks, calendars, and the concept of time in History. In Geography, students discussed and then labeled the layers of the Earth. In science, students took a trip to the Middle School science lab for a lesson on microscopes.
Next week, students will practice will all math operations, synonyms/antonyms, grammar symbols, and counting coins. We look forward to our first Peace Ceremony on Friday, September 11th.
