What are we working on in class?

  • Math: We are will be looking at addition and subtraction of larger numbers. This week we will be focusing on mental math strategies.
  • Writing: We have finished our planning for our second story and will be starting our rough draft this week. We also wrote a poem to go with our pine cone art. As we finish you'll see these on our bulletin board in the hall.
  • Gym: We are finishing our soccer tournament this week - ask your child which team they are on and their team name!
  • Reading: With Ms. Ammaturo we will be learning about the different types of conflicts in stories. We also used an app called EPIC to learn about the moon cycles.
  • Science: Ms. Ammaturo continues to teach us about matter - solids, liquids, and gas. With Ms. Norris we are learning about the movements of the sun, earth, and moon. This week we are focusing on the phases of the moon and will be creating a stop motion video to share our learning.
