For language jobs this week, first graders worked matched animals and their sounds and were introduced to basic uses for commas. Second grade students worked with comparative adjectives and explored various uses for commas. Third grade students identified the subject and predicate of sentences, identified plural possessive nouns, and used commas to separate nouns in a series within a sentence.
For math jobs this week, first grade students worked with multiplication facts and large multiplication problems, were introduced to feet and yards, converted improper fractions to mixed numbers, and solved riddles describing geometric solids. Second grade students worked with large subtraction problems, reviewed column addition using the Dot Game, measured items in feet and yards, and solved riddles describing geometric solids.
For cultural lessons, students continued their study of plants by taking a closer look at the different types of stems in science.

We look forward to sharing this information during the International Festival!
