💡WHAT WE ARE LEARNING THIS WEEK
Reading / Literature: This week, we learned the values of responsibility and wisdom from the Tale of Jeremy Fisher, the Tale of Tom Kitten and The Tale of Benjamin Bunny.
All first-grade classes are in need of reading volunteers! Please use the sign up located under your teacher's page. If you have any questions or would like to volunteer at a different time, please contact your teacher.
Math: This week, we had our test on Numbers 1 to 120. We have another test on counting money next week. We also introduced our new lesson on Addition and Subtraction. Kindly see the letter about this chapter that was sent home on Thursday.
History: We read the story, "The Other Side" by Jacqueline Woodson and discussed how we can move past being different. We studied why the Boston Tea Party happened and how it is important in our unification as America. We had a fun coloring page where we pretend to "dump the tea" like how the colonists did it in protest too. We also read and talked about Benjamin Franklin's political cartoon, "Join or Die".
Science: This week students learned about dolphins and sharks. They learned about how dolphins use echolocation and that they live in the sunlight zone. They learned that sharks have been around for millions of years and that they are the top predators in the ocean. They also learned about the unique predator in the Abyss, the Angler Fish.
Have a great week!
