Week in Review - August 19-23

Wow! What a busy week we had in our room! During language jobs, First graders explored nouns and compound words, Second graders worked with noun families, and Third graders worked with verbs. During math jobs, First Graders were introduced to fractions, Second Graders compared fractions, and Third graders worked with adding fractions. These were just some of the many jobs students completed this week! Students were also extremely excited and engaged as they did science experiments with solids, liquids and gases.

This coming week, we will continue to work and grow as a learning community. Students will work with geometric shapes (namely triangles), phonics, telling time, and grammar (articles and verb tenses). We will also kick off our science unit on the Solar System this week. Ask your student to teach you the "Planet Rap" this week!
