We are only 3 days away from winter break and all the students have been working hard the past 2 months!
In Language Arts, we have been covering units that study Our Community and, most recently, Change Over Time. It has been fun to see them apply what they have learned across all ELA skills such as writing, reading, vocabulary, grammar, and comprehension. We have been able to apply social studies within these units looking community jobs and the past, present, and future. For example, comparing and contrasting schools then and schools now. In math, we have been working on seeing the relationship between addition and subtraction problems in fact families, word problems, number bonds, words, and pictures. We use a variety of visual representations. We have just finished out module assessment on module one and have begun to move on to module two, which covers the introduction of place value through addition and subtraction within 20. We have been deep into the study and experimentation of our candy cane Science project. We are looking at the rate at which candy canes dissolve in warm water, cold water, salt water, oil, and vinegar. Students had to make predictions, a hypothesis, and a question before we began the experiment. When we get back from winter break, we will analyze the data we have collected in order to draw and make conclusions about which liquid dissolves the candy cane the fastest. We took our first field trip to the KESQ News Station and learned so much! See our Class Dojo story page for pictures. We have also been studying, encouraging, and doing acts of kindness within our classroom. For example, giving a compliment to your friends, writing a thank you note to someone special, or holding the door open for someone. We can all be kind in some way! This has been a fun first part of the year and I can't wait to see what the second half of the school year has in store for us! <3 Mrs. Patel
