First Grade - In Math we will use counters and other manipulatives as we work with subtraction of some basic facts. We solve these facts through the use of word problems and highlighting key words and information as we read. Our vowel pattern this week is the sound of short 'o' as in the word octopus. We will build and sort a variety of three letter words containing the short 'o' sound. We will also continue to work with our sight words as we build a sight word ladder on our classroom Smartboard.
Second Grade-
Our vowel pattern of the week is the sound of short 'u' as in 'pup'. We will make a 'bug' word book of many short 'o' words. We will read Alligator Race and use sentence strips to sequence the events of our story.
The students completed a summative assessment on our place value and number sense unit in Math. We are now working on using tens to add two digit numbers. We will also be reviewing our addition facts and the strategies we use to solve them.
Third Grade- We will read the final two chapters in Twister on Tuesday. This was a great book to use as we learned to visualize while reading this story. When we 'make a picture in our heads', it is easier for us to remember what we are reading. We will complete this chapter book with a special activity on Thursday! Ask your child about this on Thursday after school!
In Math we will learn how to estimate to the nearest tens, hundreds, and thousands. The children have enjoyed using our place value dice as we work with four and five digit numbers.
