Weekly Update 8/31/19

The children started our first chapter in math this week, which focuses on a review of basic addition and subtraction concepts. They have been learning strategies to add facts, including using doubles facts, counting on, and making a ten. We also added QR code scavenger hunt games into math centers to help practice these skills.

In reading, the children are continuing to practice reading for longer periods of time. They are also working on monitoring their reading to check for understanding.

Teams worked hard to finish designing their communities in social studies. Once students completed all of their buildings they planned the layout of their communities and added roads, parking lots, and other features. Next, they combined what they have been learning about complete sentences to write about each of the buildings they created. Students used their writing as a script for presenting their communities to the class. They did a fantastic job with their first presentation of the year!
