This week's skills are the following:
Math: Continuing to work on place value and concepts relating to place value, extending number patterns using a 100 number chart, identifying odd and even numbers. Our first assessment will be on Friday. Talk with your children and make up some games comparing numbers to each other. Ask them which number is greater than/less than and then use the symbols <, >, and = to compare them. It'll be fun :)
Reading: Our literature story for the week is The Day Jimmy's Boa Ate the Wash. We will be working with vocabulary, and comprehension and reading some non-fiction text about snakes!
Social Studies: We will be learing about maps and will make and use a compass rose. We will also be developing the understanding that maps have keys/legends with symbols and how to use them. At the end of the week, we will be identifying and locating the 7 continents and 5 oceans.
Here are some photos of our kids learning all about the globe and its features. They did a great job!
If you have any cardboard soda "flats" at home, (the ones that the 4-packs of canned sodas come in at Costco or the like) please send them in. We will recycle them for you! We have a fun upcoming activity that we use them for.
Have a great week!
