Happy March!

We had a super week celebrating book week with visiting author, Tad Hills, visiting singer, Courtney Campbell, book swap and book character dress-upday. We also had mini academy on Tuesday. Thank you to all the parents who volunteered to make this a successful event. Thank you to Mrs. Sara and Mrs. Kim for being wonderful guest readers this month as we move through

our March Madness book bracket.

Language Arts

Students have been busy preparing for their student led conferences. A lot of time was spent on reflecting on their glow (what they are good at) and grow(what they want to better at). Students got to do some fun activities for book week including reading BINGO, bringing in favorite books to share, nonfiction wonderings and research about germs and some fun partner reading tasks.

Math Workshop

Students refreshed their memories on place values and base ten blocks. This week, they also reviewed strategies to add two addends. Then they added 4 addends using transition words strategy such as first I added .....then I added....after that I added....finally I got.....Students also looked at the most efficient way to add multiple addends by making 10 and adding doubles. They then learned

to add and subtract multiples of 100.

Science

We just started learning about germs and the importance of good hygiene. Next few weeks we will discuss dental health and regular dentist check ups. Students are learning about different kinds of germs, and how our bodies protect and fight against them.
