We had a very busy week. We continued working on multiplication. We reviewed arrays and groups. This week we focused on using the multiplication table and number lines. We also worked on dividing numbers into equal groups and repeated subtraction. The children are very excited about these topics.
During social studies, we continued to read about Jimmy Carter. We discussed his concerns for equal rights and humanity and how it has impacted our state, country, and world.
Our writing focus these nine weeks is persuasive writing. The children enjoyed the book I Wanna Iguana. They identified examples of how the boy in the book tried to convince his mom to let him have a pet. As you can imagine, most of the children could really identify with the boy!!
This week Jordyn was our Citizen of the Week. We enjoyed learning more about her as she shared some of her favorite things with the class. Thank you for sharing your beautiful water color paintings, trophies, music box, and pillow pet. On Monday, we celebrated Alice’s birthday with delicious cinnamon muffins. Her actual birthday was February 25. Today we celebrated Stephanie’s April 2nd birthday with a variety of types of doughnuts. Happy Birthday Alice and Stephanie! Riley also participated in the Science Fair last week. Her exhibit was Rocks. Great job!
I wish all of you a restful and fun Spring Break.Have a great weekend and week.
