Update from Ms. Luria

Dear Families,


Weekly Volunteer times still available: 

• Wednesday between 10 - 11 to either help with a reading group or do writing/reading conferences with students

This week's focus:

Reading-

*We learned about coding and discussed if students should learn to code at school. 

*We finished all of our small group book clubs! 
*We reflected on what we learned during our IB unit on Dollars and Cents. 

Writing-

*Students either wrote a first person letter from the point of view of a panda bear or wrote four facts they learned about panda bears.

*We brainstormed a realistic fiction piece and started writing that story. 

    

Math-

*We practiced measuring centimeters. 

*We practice counting by fours. 

*We learned about expanded notation and how to model expanded notation with drawings and numbers. 
*If you child cannot do 100 subtraction facts in 5 minutes, please make sure they are practicing every night on a worksheet or online at runmoby.com. The online site is better because it targets math facts your child has yet to memorize. 

Social Studies and Science-

*We designed our own coin, and created it in an art project in class. 

*We created a food chain in the classroom and discussed what happens when one part of the food chain is impacted. 

Important note: Please wear gym clothes on Fridays.

Have a wonderful weekend!
