💕February 14 - February 16💕

Remember the #19 (posted last week) is due Friday, Feb 25

Ask your child about the learning we did this week.......

Valentine Day card exchange:

This was definitely the highlight of the week.  The students decorated Valentine envelops and then exchanged their cards.  Many sweet messages of friendship and caring were shared 💖. 




Math:
We made heart arrays connecting multiplication and Valentine's Day.  The students discovered Fact Families and dividing objects equally into groups.  





Science:

We learned more about parts of the ear and some of the functions.  See below for our Anatomy of the Ear creations.






💝 February 7 - February 11 💝

Ask your child about the learning we did this week......

Character:

  • February Gratitude Hearts - Each school day in February we write one word, phrase or draw a picture that shows something we are grateful for.




Literacy:

  • We had many laughs as we wrote stories about how to sneak a dragon, baby sister, grandma, or pet into school. 
  • Transition words continue to be the focus as we write about different events.
  • We learned about the importance of writing "attention grabbing beginnings" by using sound words (onomatopoeia), dialogue, action or a thought.  

Math:

  • I hope everyone has had a chance to share and play their Snowman Game.  The students worked hard designing their game and generating math questions. Enjoy playing the game at home! 

  • We started learning about ARRAYS and using arrays to help us solve multiplication questions.  We used stamps to create ROWS and COLUMNS - Look at some of our work:


Science:
  • We went on a sound hunt around our school and outside.  We discovered that some sounds are quiet, loud, pleasant and unpleasant.  We used a decibel scale meter to measure loud and quiet sounds.
