Week in Review: September 18th-22nd

We had a very exciting week in Lower Elementary! Students enjoyed traveling to the Birmingham Children's Theater to see a production of The Jungle Book. We had a great week learning, laughing, and playing together.

For language jobs, first grade students matched sets of antonyms, matched vocabulary cards of animals and their homes, edited and illustrated their personal narrative writing piece, and reviewed common and proper nouns. Second graders reviewed antonyms, wrote sentences with helping verbs, reviewed common and proper nouns, and edited their personal narrative writing. Third graders reviewed antonyms, wrote sentences with adverbs, reviewed common and proper nouns, and edited their personal narrative writing.

For math jobs, first grade students completed large addition problems, wrote number words, compared fractions, told time to the hour or half hour, wrote even and odd numbers, and constructed quadrilaterals using different triangles. Second graders completed large multiplication problems, wrote even and odd numbers, compared fractions, told time to the minute, and constructed quadrilaterals using various triangles. Third grade students completed problems using all four operations, wrote even and odd numbers, compared fractions, calculated elapsed time, and constructed quadrilaterals using various triangles.

For cultural jobs, students began a study of vertebrates. Students viewed a powerpoint and short video about fish. In geography, students located the continents, oceans, and seas on a map. For history lessons, students discussed how time can be divided into eras. Students used the Montessori material called The Clock of Eras in order to visualize how time has been sectioned into eras.

Students are excited for next week when they will celebrate their writing skills. Students will have an opportunity to share their personal narratives with one another!
