Our Week:

For literacy Ms. Disher's students shared their Wild Robot setting writing with each other. Their loose part Wild Robot art pieces turned out very well. Mrs. Pelton's class continued to work on procedural writing. 

In math, the grade 1 students focused on learning about subtraction as taking away and looked at the friendly numbers of 10 with subtraction. We learned that addition goes hand in hand with subtraction because if you know that 4 + 6 = 10, then you know that 10- 4= 6.  The grade 2 students worked on thinking of addition for subtraction and vice versa to help with missing addends/subtrahends. 

For Pink Shirt Day on Feb. 28, both classes watched the wordless picture book on the Smartboard I Walk with Vanessa written by Kerascoët. The students engaged in conversations about kindness, empathy and inclusion. For Wellness the rest of the week, we continued our talk about kindness by reading and writing about what a true friend is all about and thinking of powerful positive words to write with pastel. 

For Social Studies, we continued to look closely at Tuscany community and started to learn about the word landmark and where the landmarks in Tuscany are located. 

Have a good weekend everyone!
