Hello Families! I hope you are enjoying the warmer weather after such a cold week! The most common question in our class this week was 'When is it going to warm up so we can play in the snow?' Lots of movement breaks were had for sure in Room 13. In Writer's Workshop this week we read the book 'Refection in Me' and brainstormed about ourselves-things that we can do, things that we are and things that we have. So many wonderful, positive words were written! In Science, as a lead up to Building Things, the students were given a STEAM challenge of building a tower where no two materials alike could be touching. As we move into this unit, students will be able to use their critical thinking to change their approach to this challenge to be more successful with their towers! In Math, we continue to learn helpful strategies for solving addition equations! Ask your child how they can use a number line. Scholastic Scholastic flyers did not quite make it home this month, but

Hello Families, Lots of amazing learning has been happening in room 13. I hope that much of the information has made its way home already.  We have continued to work on our printing practice when writing using visuals to help us remember our spaghetti and meatball spacing as well as our sky, grass, dirt letters. We have also been extending our writing by using who, what, where and when each week! We learned about nouns and action verbs this week and brainstormed lists together as a class. We then picked a few words to write sentences with.  We have been enjoying a game each day called Spellie! It is amazing to hear the words the students come up with to try to solve the mystery word. If you choose to try this at home, please try not to do it before school during the week so that we can all try together in class. In math, we have been working on addition and addition word problems. The students are learning how to pick out words in the problem to help them know how to solve the problem
