• In Reading, we are learning about the letters Nn and Dd and the sounds they make.
• Continuing drawing to write

• Beginning number bonds to 5
• Fire safety week
• Visit to the fire station

Kinfergarten

• In Reading, we are learning about the ​letters Nn and Dd and the sounds they ​make. We are introduced to the sight ​words to and do as well!
• In Writing, we are finishing up our ​drawing unit and sharing our stories with ​each other!

• In Math, we are focusing on numbers 6-​10!

• Students compare and contrast trees during each ​season.

1st Grade

• This week we started a new module. We ​learned about supporting ideas, retelling ​stories, and identifying the setting. During our ​skills work, we focused on the floss rule. We ​continued reviewing short vowels using ​decodable texts. 

• This week in math we continued adding single ​digit numbers to 10 and finding the missing ​addend. We represented these problems with ​number bonds, number sentences, and ​pictures. 

• Students will go outdoors to feel and observe the ​wind. They are introduced to a descriptive wind ​scale (an adaptation of the Beaufort scale) and an ​anemometer, and instrument used to measure wind ​speed. They will construct a pinwheel and observe ​how it operates when they blow on it, move it ​through the air, and take it outdoors in the wind. ​They compare the action of the pinwheels to the ​class anemometer.

2nd Grade

• This week we read about states of matter, and ​learned about the digraphs “ng”, “ck”, and ​“ph”.
• We also learned about making inferences ​while we are reading.
• We continue working on our personal ​narratives in writing.

• This week we continued learning about place ​value, and how to represent numbers up to ​hundreds.

• The students will  create a ​physical model to represent ​landforms and patterns in ​geological features.

3rd Grade

• This week students will continue ​to learn about elements of poetry ​and point of view. We will practice ​identifying and understanding ​characters in a story. 
• Students will learn about the ​suffixes -y and -ly. Example: ​RarelyThis week students will ​review short and long vowels.

• This week students will review ​fact families to make connections ​between multiplication and ​division. We will continue ​reviewing strategies that students ​can use to solve multiplication ​equations. 

• Students examine clues ​about how clouds look and ​feel to discover what ​they’re made of and how ​they form. In the activity, ​Gas Trap, students add hot ​water to clear cups to ​observe evaporation ​firsthand. They observe the ​condensation of the water ​vapor on the sides of the ​cup. They use this model to ​understand how clouds are ​formed.

• This week in Digital Literacy, ​we explored our Google Drive. ​We were able to name files, ​create folders and start to ​organize our Google Drive. 

4th Grade

• Spelling: Students will be learning ​how to spell words with short u ​sounds, and Long /yoo/ and /oo/ ​Sounds. We will Remind students ​that sometimes the letters ew, ui, ​ue, and oo stand for the long ​/yoo/ and /oo/ sound. This sound ​is pronounced like the /oo/ in the ​word moon.
• Shared reading: Students will be ​exploring the historical fiction ​book called The Game of Silence. ​Students will be learning about ​visualizing scenes within a text, ​understanding plot, figurative ​language, and author's craft.
• Writing: Students will be learning ​the key components of ​informational writing. We will be ​focusing our informational writing ​on Native Americans. Students ​have started the note taking ​process.

• In math students will be starting ​on a new module. Students will be ​discovering multiplication in this ​module. It is important that ​students are continuing to work ​on their fact fluency as this will be ​essential for our multiplication ​unit.

• Students continue to run stream ​tables to learn how environmental ​variables can affect erosion and ​deposition. They investigate the ​variables of slope and water volume ​(flood). then they plan and conduct ​their own stream-table investigations.

• This week in Digital ​Literacy, we explored our ​Google Drive. We were able ​to name files, create ​folders and start to ​organize our Google Drive. 

5th Grade

• Spelling: Students will learn r-​controlled vowels such as /ôr/, /​âr/, /är/
• Shared Reading: Students will be ​exploring poetry next week with a ​focus on theme and author’s ​purpose.
• Writing: Students are drafting, ​revising, and editing their ​personal narratives with a focus ​on catchy beginnings, endings, ​and transitional phrases. 

• We are wrapping up the ​Place Value unitReviewing ​multi digit multiplication
• Writing and interpreting ​numerical expressions

Students discover that gravity exists on all ​planets and moons, but the amount of ​gravity is different because it depends on ​how massive the object is. In the activity, ​Gravity Jump, students measure how high ​they can jump on Earth and then calculate ​how high they would be able to jump on ​other planets and moons within our Solar ​System.
