Despite the rainy weather we have had a terrific first week back at school!
Here's what we have been up to:
*Second graders are beginning their study of the rainforest. They were treated to a slideshow and introductory information about these special places.
*Second graders enjoyed a presentation on EGGS.
*Third graders have begun reading the story of Helen Keller by Margaret Davidson. They are learning about biographies and reading some independently as well. Third graders have started using Reader's Notebooks to record thoughts and writing about their reading lives. Students and I are using this format to write letters back and forth about their reading.
*Third graders are now writing all work in CURSIVE! Their hands have been tired, but they are doing a great job!
*Both second and third graders are working hard to understand and memorize math facts. Second graders are working on addition and subtraction facts while the third graders are working on multiplication and division facts (2's, 3's, and 4's so far). PLEASE help reinforce this learning at home.
*In writing we are learning about how to structure and write good paragraphs. This week children wrote about their vacations.
Have a wonderful LONG weekend!
