Last Week of School


Curriculum

Reading/Writing:
Passion Projects!  This week, the students have been given the opportunity to research and learn about a topic of their choice.  They have been reading about their topic all week and taking notes to learn as much as they can.  They are also then working on a project to show their learning.  Some students are making posters, others are writing about their learning and others are posting on Seesaw.  

Math:
This week, we've been reviewing place value and also reviewing our Unit 9 topics (adding within 100 using tools, measurement and fractions).

IXL Skills - Use these activities as you wish to help your child with the skills we will be working on throughout this third trimester.

Purposeful Play
Please see the Purposeful Play tab on the blog to learn more about our weekly Play Time and donation items we could use for it!

Homework
  • Read every night (you can read with your child, listen to them read or read to them - all of it helps).  Then talk about the book - who are the characters, what happened, why did it happen, make connections, what's the main idea, why did the author write the book, how did the author give you information, what features did the author use to help you as a reader
  • Work on a math skill  
    • counting forwards and backwards within 120 (and skip counting)
    • adding and subtracting to 20 - play a board game for this
    • telling time (What are the hands on the clock? How is a clock set up?)
    • identify and count coins
    • measuring - length and volume -  have your child cook with you to practice this
    • talk about shapes - 2D and 3D - find items around your house, etc.)
