Happy New Year!

Welcome back to school! We started the new year by writing resolutions!  We came up with great ways to can improve ourselves and help others.  We set goals and we're sticking to them!





This week in math we finished Topic 7 (mental subtraction).  We learned how to subtract using the hundred chart, find parts of 100, and subtract multiples of 10. We played a memory match game and a parts of 100 game.









We are starting social studies!  We observed maps and globes and completed a venn diagram to compare.  We watched a BrainPOP video about maps.  We read Me on the Map and drew a map of our classroom. We are working on learning our town, state, country, continent, and planet.  Students need to know the 7 continents and 4 major oceans.







Homework routines are changing next week.  Students will now to writing leader/follower sentences to get us ready for paragraph writing.  We practiced writing leader/follower sentences and will do more next week!


It's been a lonnggggg week of indoor recess! But we are keeping ourselves busy :)





Reminders:

  • Field trip on Thursday, January 29th!
