Open House on 10/14! The students are very excited to share with you all they have learned so far this year!

Grade 1:

Math

-We continue to work on subtraction. The children have been learning to use the clues in word problems to create and solve subtraction problems. This is challenging. We encourage you to look at the way that subtraction is being presented- particularly in the word problems- and try to reinforce this at home. Children are encouraged to try and write their own word problems if they are able.

E/LA

-We have been writing, writing and writing! Children have been writing about squirrels, seasons, fire safety and all about themselves.

Fundations instruction has begun. We are focusing on key letter sounds/pictures. We are learning proper formation of lowercase letter formation. We will have packets for parents at Open House that will explain all about this.

Science

First graders are making tops, mobiles and all other types of things that roll, spin and twirl! They are learning about all types of “motion”.

Grade 2:

Math

Students are continuing to practice place value of larger numbers, and comparing larger numbers using mathematical symbols.

Parent Letter for Math

E/LA

Second graders continue to write narratives as well as journal writing.

We will be reading both fiction and non-fiction literature on a daily basis.

Science

Students will begin tracking the weather on a daily basis. We will be watching weather trends as seasons change.

"What's your favorite season? Why?"

K:

Mia: "I like Winter because it's so cold and you make snowmen."

Ella: "Winter, because then it's going to be my birthday."

Grade 1:

Lana: "Summer, because it's hot and nice out."

Gabby: "I like Fall because of Halloween."

Grade 2:

Gian: "My favorite season is Fall because that's when my birthday is."

Mia: "Summer, because I get to go to the beach a lot."

Please check your child's backpack for toys and other items which may disrupt the learning environment. There seems to be a few Pokemon cards and ShopKins visiting lately.
