Math
The children continued to explore measurement this week and used different sized "feet" to measure objects in our classroom. They used their own foot, a partner's foot, and a standard foot to take their measurements. Then we compared our results. We talked about why the number of "feet" were different each time and that using a standard measuring tool, like a ruler, helps keep our results consistent, or the same. Students recorded their measurements in their math journals and drew a picture to match. We also practiced counting by 5's this week and watched a video to help us count by 5's to a beat!
The children did a TERRIFIC job with their 100's Day projects, and they were all eager to share. What a creative collection we had!
Literacy/Social Studies
This week the students learned the sight words do and this, and they brought home a new sight word book. We practiced how to "read" the punctuation marks by making our voices go up when we see a question mark or using expression when we see an exclamation mark. We also spent some time practicing how to take care of the books in our class library and reading independently from our individual books bins during reading workshop. The students met in guided reading groups and practiced reading and writing their sight words as well.
The students have been doing a great job with their "What did you do this weekend?" writing. It's fun to hear about all of the fun things the children do each weekend, and it's amazing to see how much they are growing as writers!

LMC
This week in the LMC the students had their first experience with coding. They were able to dip their toes into the world of computer science by completing various activities on the code.org website. Students used their own individual accounts to complete several coding tasks. Information about how to access your child's account on the code.org website will be coming home soon!
All About Me
The class loved learning all about Julia's favorite things this week! We learned that Julia is very creative, and she loves to paint, color, and draw. She likes doing puzzles and reading. She enjoys playing with her barbies and her Lego friends. She likes to practice writing her letters, and she loves spending time with her family, especially with her twin brother David!
