This has been a short week packed with activities. Students have begun NWEA testing as well as completing individual reading conferences with Miss Debbie.

Peek at our Week
Language Arts
We are using our Science theme, The Earth’s Surface, to review nonfiction text features, to practice finding the most important parts of a nonfiction text, and to write using complete sentences with capital letters and periods. Students have been reading and listening to books on Epic. We have also used articles from the web site Pebble Go and watched a few videos from Brain Pop.
Science
Ask your first grader to tell you why the sun is important. The sun gives us light, heat, and energy. We have also talked about the Earth’s place in space. Second graders are learning about the water cycle as part of our land form study.

Math
Our first grade level mathematicians are learning to listen and look for information in story problems to create a corresponding addition or subtraction problem to solve.
Our second grade level mathematicians are learning to add 3 addends. They may choose to make a ten to add, add the 2 largest numbers together first or add the 2 smallest numbers together first. They are finding how quickly they are able to problem solve because of our many review games!
Our third grade level mathematicians have just begun their journey into multiplication. They are very excited to work with arrays, show how they understand that multiplication is repeated addition and soon get to play our multiplication Splat game!
Social Studies
Our first graders learned what scarcity means and how it might relate to our lives (such as when toilet paper was scarce during the first few months of the pandemic). We read a Cornbread and Poppy story and discussed how the story explained scarcity. In the story, Poppy does not gather food for winter and Cornbread only has enough food for one hungry mouse and they must problem solve to find out a solution to the food scarcity problem. Our second graders continued to work on their landform dictionaries including learning about and illustrating plateaus, caves, canyons and islands.
