Week in Review: April 10th - 14th

We had a wonderful week in Lower Elementary! Classrooms 1 and 2 enjoyed their trip to the Children's Theater to see "James and the Giant Peach"!

For language arts jobs, first grade students reviewed synonyms and antonyms, identified prepositions, practiced their dictionary skills, and made inferences based on what they read in a passage. Second grade students reviewed antonyms and synonyms, identified conjunctions, practiced their dictionary skills, and made inferences based on what they read in a passage. Third grade students reviewed antonyms and synonyms, analyzed sentences for the subject, predicate, and direct object, practiced locating words in the dictionary and thesaurus, and made inferences based on what they read in a passage.

For math jobs, first graders worked with large addition, subtraction, and multiplication problems, practiced reading a bar graph, learned terms for describing the probability of an event occurring, and added fractions with like denominators. Second grade students worked with all operations, collected data and created a graph, and learned terms for describing the probability of a event occurring. Third grade students worked will all operations, found the average of a group of numbers, and reviewed terms for describing the probability of an event occurring.

For cultural lessons, students identified body parts and traits of echinoderms such as sea stars, sand dollars, and sea slugs. In history, students began to identify the impact of pollution and overfishing on the ocean.  In geography, students began a unit on biomes. Students matched pictures cards to words identifying the major biomes.
