Our annual Fall Harvest Parade was enjoyed by all! In the event you were unable to join us last Friday afternoon, please follow me on Twitter...I posted several pictures of the students!
Classroom Highlights
K4 - The children are learning about numbers 0-5. This includes counting groups of these amounts and sequencing the numbers. The students are also learning the following letters: Bb, Li, Tt. Learning about fall and Thanksgiving are also highlights in K4!
K5 - The students are finishing up on their science unit about trees and leaves. In Social Studies, they are discussing communities, community helpers, and where they live.
Grade 1 - In math class, the children are learning about visual patterns and number patterns. They are also continuing to develop their time-telling and money-counting skills. During Writer's Workshop, first graders are publishing small moment stories, and they are looking forward to their upcoming writer's celebration. The children are using Chrome Books during Gator Time, in which they are have the opportunity to engage with Compass Learning.
Grade 2 - The second graders are practicing collecting data. They are using tallies to record their findings, and then creating picture and bar graphs to display the information. In writing, students are learning a variety of technology skills as they type their stories using Google Docs. They have been writing small moment stories, and are practicing important keyboarding skills to publish their documents, including how to import pictures and making drawings on the finished piece. This adds a fun visual effect to their completed work!
Grade 3 - Third grades celebrated their small moment stories last week. They are looking forward to researching animals for their upcoming non-fiction books that they will be publishing. In science, the students are excited about hands on experiments, in which they are learning about water and climate.
