- We had a special guest in the classroom. Firefighter John came in to talk to us about fire safety and the importance of having a plan at home in the event of a fire. Students went home today with their firefighter hat, coloring book and tattoo. Ask your child to share what they learned from this presentation.
- In Social Studies, we went on our community walk and looked for important parts of our community. We created an event map to show some of the important places and symbols around our school community. Ask your child to share what they mapped.
- We read, "Lily's Purple Plastic Purse".
- And we created a T-chart in our journal to show our connections to the story as well as our understanding of what Lily had in her purse.
- In Science, we have been working on becoming experts on seasonal changes in plants. We learned about the difference between coniferous and deciduous trees and drew a realistic coniferous tree. Ask your child about the difference.
- In math, we have been working on adding two and five and representing addition sentences vertically.
- We also worked on the thinking routine, "It is ... It isn't ..." about 10. Ask your child to share some ideas about what is ten and what isn't ten.
