Dear Families,

This week the first and second graders created a bar graph showing the height of several different kinds of penguins. Then, they were able to answer questions about the penguins using the information they graphed. They also measured themselves in inches and determined which penguin was closest to their height. And, last, they found out and marked where in the world several different types of penguins live. (All penguin work will go home at the end of the unit.)

My math group began a unit on place value. We completed several fun activities. For example,  students were given task cards such as take the numbers 7, 2, 9 and 4. Put the 7 in the tens place, the 2 in the thousands place, etc. Read the number. All of my students were so motivated and created numbers into the millions! Now, we need to learn to read the numbers!

This morning we cleaned our classroom and searched for chametz. What great cleaners!

Wishing everyone a wonderful Pesach break!

Shabbat Shalom,

Hamorah Caren
