Dear Families,
Our first week back from February break was a busy one!
We spent Monday celebrating our 100th day of school. The students made posters to display 100 items, they did fun worksheets involving the number 100 and they had a "scavenger hunt" to find 100 items hidden within five containers of colored foam.
My math group began learning about symmetry as the first part of our unit on geometry. We looked at many different shapes and pictures of different items and tried to find a line of symmetry. Then we made our own creative symmetrical designs using construction paper, scissors and glue. Check them out in the hall!
My literacy group began to learn about contractions this week. We will continue to practice in class. Although the students didn't know the term "contraction," they all knew what they were. Please help your child to practice at home using the flashcards that we made in class.
And, last, we spent our first "Science Friday" learning about how important it is to follow specific steps when conducting an experiment. Teachers modeled for the students how to make a bowl of cereal. Then, the students were put into groups and together they had to write and illustrate the steps to brushing their teeth. We will begin our grades 1/2 experiment next week.
Reminders: my math group is having a celebratory ice cream party on Monday (Tuesday is the make up date) and grades 1/2 will be having a pajama day on Tuesday.
Shabbat Shalom,
Hamorah Caren
