Week in Review : April 20th - 24th

We had a great week in Lower Elementary! While the third graders were busy with testing, first and second graders were busy with jobs!

For language arts jobs, first graders reviewed compound words, explored long vowel sounds, were introduced to adverbs, and edited sentences for capitalization. Second graders reviewed common and proper nouns, had further practice with antonyms/synonyms, edited sentences, and completed work with a pronoun grammar box.

For math jobs, first graders solved subtraction problems using the stamp game, reviewed how to add fractions, and practiced counting mixed coin amounts. Second graders solved division problems, added/subtracted fractions, and completed word problems containing money.

The highlight of our week was a visit from Sophia's dad. For her share, Sophia chose to have him bring in three of her family's snakes! Everyone enjoyed petting the snakes! Students were excited to learn the names of the snakes, where they came from, and what they ate.





Next week, students will have continued practice with all math operations, begin a unit of study on the human body, work with grammar symbols, use thermometers to measure temperature, and much more! It will be a great week!
