This week's learning adventures!

Another great week! This past week we really concentrated on getting into more of a classroom routine. We began running literacy stations/rotations and started working in more focused math small groups. It really feels like we are wonderful community. I couldn't ask for a better class! In math we are continuing our work with place value. We have many different things going on to help us learn about place value, including projects, small group practice and games! Ask your child how to play "Wipeout" on the calculator! This game gives your child a great way to practice the value of numbers. In science, we continued to work through lab activities to help us with the process skills such as observing and classifying. Next week will be begin to learn about weather. We are reading a great story in literacy called Akiak! Ask your child what that story is about as we think it would make a great movie! :)
