Week in Review: March 6th- 10th

It was another fantastic week in Lower Elementary! Students had a great time working in the classroom on various math, language, and cultural jobs.

For language jobs, first grade students identified the key elements in a fiction story, reviewed homonyms, worked with contractions, and sorted present and past tense verbs. Second grade students identified the key elements in a fiction story, reviewed homonyms, created contractions, and wrote sentences with pronouns. Third grade students identified key elements in a fiction story, reviewed homonyms, created contractions, and identified the subject and predicate of a sentence.

For math jobs, first grade students solved large subtraction problems, reviewed the names for different types of fractions, and completed various numeration jobs such as rounding or identifying place value. Second graders worked with all math operations, completed various numeration jobs such as rounding or identifying place value, and had continued work with money word problems. Third grade students had work with all math operations, reviewed the decimal system, and had continued work with elapsed time.

For cultural jobs, students continued their study of invertebrates with an introduction to mollusks. Students watched a powerpoint presentation and a short video highlighting the three main types of mollusks (bivalves, gastropods, and cephalopods). Students then were able to sort shells based on the type of mollusk the belonged to. Students began a study of Women's History by viewing a powerpoint presentation about famous women and their contributions to society. Students then designed a postage stamp depicting a famous women of his or her choice.
