Our Week:

 

On Wednesday Feb. 14, we had an enjoyable sharing of Valentine’s Day cards and we also talked about what friendship means. For Social Studies, we are talking about all the people that make up the community of Tuscany and friends are an important group of people that are in our school community as well as in our neighborhood community. We will continue to look at the community of Tuscany in different ways in the next while.

 

For literacy, Ms. Disher’s class focused on understanding setting in story while writing about The Wild Robot and Ms. Pelton’s class has started procedural/how to writing. Both classes will continue this next week.

 

For math, Mrs. Pelton’s grade 1 group focused on understanding addition through the part-part-whole model and continued to play math addition games to reinforce skills learned. Ms. Disher’s grade 2 group continued to work on addition and subtraction of 2 digit by one digit numbers. The students played a fun Snakes and Ladders game to practice this skill.

 

Both classes continued to work on different parts of our science and art project about hibernation, adaptation and migration. The students are super excited to learn more about the different animals we have been reading about in The Wild Robot. Ms. Disher’s class has begun the second book in the series: The Wild Robot Escapes. Mrs. Pelton’s class is nearing the end of The Wild Robot.

 

We hope everyone has a wonderful Family Day long weekend!
