Week in Review: August 28th - September 1st

Wow! It is hard to believe that August is already over and September is here! Students had a great week learning and growing in Lower Elementary! Students ended the week with a special celebration for Dr. Montessori's birthday (August 31st)!

For language jobs this week, first grade students sorted the names of various animals and their young, classified words into categories, and practiced crafting a personal narrative story. Second grade students had work with irregular verbs, classified words into categories, put words into alphabetical order by the second letter, and practiced crafting a personal narrative story. Third grade students continued their review of adverbs, classified words into categories, put words into alphabetical order by the third letter, and practiced crafting a personal narrative story.

For math jobs this week, first grade students practiced large addition problems, wrote number words, identified quadrilaterals, named fractions, and practiced math facts. Second grade students practiced math operations, reviewed quadrilaterals, found equivalent fractions, and practiced writing large numbers in expanded notation. Third graders practiced large math operations and math facts, reviewed quadrilaterals, found equivalent fractions, and practiced writing larger numbers in expanded notation.

For cultural jobs, students continued to complete science experiments which stem from the First Great Lesson. For Geography, students watched a short video on pangea and then created a "globe" by tracing the continents onto two paper plates. For History, students experienced the Third Great Lesson: The Timeline of Life. Students were able to see and hear how animals came to live and change over the course of time.
