Weekly Learning Update

We had a busy second week of school. The kids were excited to meet their Grade 1 buddy today. They wrote questions so they could interview their buddy to get to know them. In Math, we have working with a hundreds chart to practice 1 more, 1 less, 10 more and 10 less. Students had fun solving number riddles. In Social Studies, we a explored the globe and world maps. We talked about non-fiction text features when we looked through the Atlas. In Science, we introduced the vocabulary (structure, design, function, model, materials, procedure, architects, engineers) that will support students during our Building Unit.  We continued to review letter sounds and practice our cursive writing.
