We had a wonderful week in Lower Elementary! The third graders performed a play for us based on one of the books they read in Great Books. The highlight of our week was our Valentine's Day party! Thanks to all who helped make the day special!
For language jobs this week, first grade students matched animal names to their sounds, practiced dictionary skills, read poetry, and edited sentences for capitalization, commas, and punctuation. Second grade students were introduced to pronouns, explored analogies, read poetry, and edited sentences for commas. Third grade students analyzed sentences, reviewed plural possessive nouns, read poetry, and edited sentences .
For math jobs, first students practiced multiplication, were introduced to the commutative property, added fractions, explored polygons, and practiced measuring items in centimeters and inches. Second grade students explored subtraction over zero, practiced column addition, were introduced to the commutative and associative properties, measured the perimeter of polygons, and practiced some simple measurement conversions. Third graders practiced all math operations, constructed numbers containing decimals, were introduced to the commutative, associative, and identity properties, explored congruent figures, and practiced measurement conversions.
For cultural jobs, students continued their study of South Africa and Germany. Students learned about the animals, holidays, clothings, and exports from the two countries. Join us for the International Festival on Saturday from 3-6 to see what we have learned.
