Congratulations to Ava for earning a Comet Note this week for being a helpful classmate!
In the Classroom
Last week in math, students did a project involving cubes and measuring strips. They created cube trains with alternating colors that represented skip counting by a factor. They then measured that train, marked the sections, and labeled with the correct multiples. This project continued to help us practice skip counting as well as get us acquainted with the multiples. Here are some pictures of the activity.
This week, we continued to focus on multiplication by looking at groups of items. We practiced using a picture of an empty sticker page and having to figure out how many stickers would fit on a page.
In Health this week, we discussed My Plate. Students learned about the different food groups and what they provide for your body. We also had a special guest come in to teach us about healthy eating. Mrs. B from the Nutrition department came to help us make a salad that contained something from every food group. Yum!
Our focus in reading this week was on non-fiction features. We read a book called The Buzz About Honeybees to learn about these features together. Each student also studied the features in their small guided reading groups.
Students worked on and completed their Health report drafts in writing this week. We also began typing our reports. We will have these on display next week at the Open House.
