Week in Review: January 11 - 15

We had another great in Lower Elementary! Students enjoyed the week and worked very hard!

For language jobs, first graders were introduced to verbs, formed contractions, and explored the dictionary by using guide words. Second graders explored comparative adjectives, reviewed homographs by using a pronunciation key, and formed contractions. Third graders explored helping verbs, reviewed homographs by using a pronunciation key, and formed contractions.

For math jobs, first graders has continued work with multiplication, became familiar with standard and metric vocabulary for various lengths, and were introduced to different types of fractions (proper, improper, and mixed number). Second graders solved subtraction problems using the bead frame, reviewed standard and metric measurement vocabulary for various lengths, and reviewed subtracting fractions. Third graders had further practice with all math operations, reviewed standard and metric measurement vocabulary for various lengths, were introduced to multiplying fractions, and were also introduced to multiplying a binomial by a binomial in preparation for exploring the distributive property of multiplication.

For cultural jobs, students continued their study of the American Revolution by viewing a Powerpoint presentation. Students also continued their study of plants by exploring the parts of a plant.
