Students in Lower Elementary were busy at work this week! Students also enjoyed browsing and buying books from the Scholastic book fair!
For language jobs, first grade students explored the noun family (article, adjective, noun), were introduced to homographs, and added -s to nouns in order to make them plural. Second graders worked with suffixes, completed work with prepositions, added -s and -es to nouns in order to make them plural, and edited a paragraph. Third graders worked with suffixes, completed work with conjunctions, added -s, -es, and -ies to nouns in order to make them plural, and were introduced to analogies.
For math jobs, first grade students worked with addition and multiplication, explore the various types of lines, added fractions, were introduced to rounding, and wrote number words. Second graders worked with multiplication, reviewed rounding, added fractions, and explored types of angles (acute, obtuse, right). Third grade students reviewed rounding, added fractions, worked with all math operations, and measured angles using a protractor.
For cultural jobs, students explored the Needs of Humans in History. In geography, students identified the various regions of the United States. Students explored different elements on the periodic table for a science job.
