📕 SPALDING: We will resume learning new Spalding words next week.
Students will practice at home the phonograms they haven't mastered yet. Check out the Spalding resources on this website to review letter formations, spelling/Spalding rules and phonogram list.
📕 MATHEMATICS: We started our unit for numbers 0 to 20. We recognized the numbers and how to write the number word. We learned how 11 to 20 is shown in a ten frame, and how to compare and order them.
📕 HISTORY: We learned about Hatshepsut, a female pharaoh who had a great contribution to Ancient Egypt. We also wrapped up this unit and can't wait for our culminating activity with our parents on Monday!
📕 SCIENCE: We talked about Rachel Carson, a great scientist and environmentalist. Students created the Rachel Carson foldable. We also learned all about food chains.
