Hello Families

 Hello Families,

During math we have been adding numbers up to 20, 50 and 100. Students chose a budget and had to purchase at lease 10 items and add the amount together to come up with their total or close to their total. 

At home students can create their own budget and grocery list too.

During daily L.A we continue to use Nouns, verbs and adjectives to create super sentences and add more detail to our writing. We have introduced the Montessori Grammar material to identify parts of speech in our writing.

Ask me about my writing...

Would your rather live in a treehouse or a boat? Why?

In social studies we have been talking about communities we belong to. 

We look forward to visiting our sit spot after spring to observe all the changes that Spring brings to us and Mother Earth.`

These are a few samples of some Leprechaun traps...

We wish all of the families a very happy Spring Break. Classes resume Monday April 3.

Feb. 14 Blog

 Hello Families:

For a short week it sure is a busy week. We shared our secret valentine cards today. It was so exciting to see students reactions as they received their secret valentine card. I have a few examples below as well as our planning page.

We listened to the story The Reflection In Me. After listening to the  story we brainstormed all of the wonderful things about ourselves that we can celebrate. 

We continue to work on learning the parts of a sentence to make our writing more interesting to our intended audience. Currently, we are investigating nouns. Next steps will be to look at verbs and adjectives.

In Math:

Grade 1 Investigate addition and subtraction strategies.

Add and subtract within 20.

Check differences and sums using inverse operations.

Grade 2:

Recall and apply addition number facts, with addends to 10, and related subtraction number facts.

Investigate strategies for addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers.

Add and subtract numbers within 100.

Below is an example of our morning task work. Ask you family if they can solve the word scramble or math number bond 

equations.
