In language arts we are study the idea of perseverance or “sticking to it”. The students shared wonderful examples of times when they tried and tried again. We read and discussed the story, “Tillie and the Wall” by Leo Lionni. This week we will begin our “By the Sea” unit.
In math we started our “Time and Money”. The students have done an amazing job of telling time to the hour. This week we will discuss coin values.
In science we started our “From Seed to Plant” unit. In the first lesson, the students used their prior knowledge to sort seeds. They were surprised to find that all of their sorted objects were seeds. Thanks to Mrs. Hess, we now have a blooming classroom garden. Later this week we will observe what happens inside of a seed.
Looking Ahead:
