If you decide to send your child to school with Valentine cards, please make sure that they have one for each child in our class, and do not send candy. Thank you! Last week we finished building our lanterns. We then enjoyed some quiet reading by lantern light. On Thursday afternoon we split our time between making shadow puppets in the classroom, and a variety of activities to help us learn more about light, shadow, and seasons in The Backyard Garden. We designed covers and wrote titles for our personal narrative stories. In math first graders worked subtracting a one-digit number from a two-digit number. First Graders may now complete assignments through Module 3 Lesson 21. Second graders practiced 3-digit subtraction problems with regrouping. They also worked in teams to solve word problems involving addition and subtraction. Second Grade students can complete any pages through Module 2. Module 3 workbooks went home on Friday.
Volunteers Needed: Please email Erin Morgan, [email protected], if you can help!
