In math we have been continuing to build our number sense by learning about place value. The students participated in a place value matching game that has them not only recognizing the numbers and digits, but also the visuals that represents them.
We started our How-To writing and it is off to a great start! The students are writing step-by-step directions and doing an awesome job using transition words to help with the structure of their writing. From "How to make a bed" to "how to have a playdate" the students are writing about expert topics and getting the chance to be writers and teachers!
In science we continued working with and exploring our igneous rocks. We have been focusing on the features, textures, colors and location of each rock and adding information to our rock journals. This week we will be learning about river rocks! Thanks to our friends at the Green Table who brought in some rocks for our Room 112 rock museum. Each week a different table group will get a chance to share their rocks if they would like - this week it is Pink Table's turn (check out the newsletter for rock sharing schedule).
Also, we have started our 12 days of kindness, which coincides with the 12 days before winter break! We will be adding to our song each day (to the tune of the 12 days of Christmas) and practicing both the song and acts of kindness throughout the next two weeks :)
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
