Social Studies
It was very interesting to know how our family is like other families and how it is different from others, but we all have a family!
Thank you to those who sent in family pictures!!
Math
Students compared pictorial quantities of 1 to 9 and identified which was greater and which was less. Students then compared the numerals 1 to 10 and determined which was greater.
We learned that when two numbers are compared on the number track, the greater number is always on the right.
On Friday, students compared lengths of objects and determined which objects were shorter and longer.
Please refer to the Module 4 Parent Letter for ideas on how to strengthen and support these new math skills at home. This letter was sent home on Thursday as well.
Module 4 Parent Letter - English
Module 4 Parent Letter - Spanish
Science
Some magnetic things we discovered in our classrooms were scissors, paper clips, the white boards, and chair legs. Some non-magnetic things we discovered were table tops, chart paper, wooden furniture, and glass doors.
