Hi all! Week 7 was a very good week! We finished sorting by attributes in math. We started learning about graphing and adding and subtracting by 1 and 2. Trevvett has initiated a school wide learning event about graphing. Each month, we will collect data as a class and make our own graph, then send it in to be combined with data from other classes and grade levels! This month’s theme is “What is your class’ favorite Halloween candy?” Our class voted Starburst their favorite!
In reading we practiced making predictions about stories, which the kids found to be really fun! In science we started learning about animal habitats and basic needs of living creatures. We wrote stories about a special place and learned about more digraphs (-ch and -th) and short vowel u.
We had a very special show on Tuesday: dancers from the Richmond Ballet performed Swan Lake for the school. The students LOVED it!
