Weekly Update

We had another great week!  I am so impressed with hard how the kids are working during our reading block.  We are learning so much about poetry.  We are discussing and practicing "high quality of work" and being respectful throughout our day.  We are also learning about Habit of Character with words like respect, integrity, and empathy.

 

We could use another volunteer on Monday to help cut out the circles to make the Homecoming Buttons.    It's easy to do.  Come in any time during the school day for as long or little as you like - whatever works for your schedule.  We have enough help for rest of the week.   Thank you!

 

We are excited to have our "Food for Families" Backpack Program back.  Click here for more information.

 

Math: We reviewed place (ones, tens, hundreds, etc) and place value (what's the digit worth).  We also practiced rounding (four or less let it rest and five or more add one more).  We played A Garden of Rounding to help us practice our rounding skills.

 

Reading: We continue to learn and discuss poetic elements with a variety of poems.   Students also completed a QuickWrite to show their knowledge of the poetic elements.   On Wednesday we completed a Mid-Unit assessment.  

 

Science / Social Studies/Health: We discussed advertising and trying to get people to purchase a product.  The kids created posters to advertise the Homecoming Buttons.
