Fun With Firsties
March 14, 2016
Curriculum Highlights
Math-This week we will finish up Topic 10. Our lessons this week will allow us to practice skills such as adding to a 2 digit number and drawing pictures to create number sentences. We will take the Topic 10 assessment in the latter part of the week.
Social Studies-This week we will continue to learn about mapping, while discussing our neighborhood. We will brainstorm ideas about what we find in our neighborhood in anticipation of creating a model of our neighborhood next week.
Notes To The Fabulous Folks
- Next week, we will begin construction of a neighborhood for a project in conjunction with our technology class. We plan to build this neighborhood out of Kleenex boxes. If you have any used Kleenex boxes to spare, we would greatly appreciate them. Any size or shape is acceptable. Please send any donations with your child throughout the week. Construction is set to begin on March 21. Thanks in advance for your support!
- Spring is just around the corner! The children are very energetic at this time of year. Please remember that the Primary Courtyard is not a playground! If your child needs a place to get their wiggles out before the school day, please encourage them to visit the field. The Primary Courtyard is a place for quiet and calm morning conversations. Thank you for your support!
