In math, we have begun our study of numbers up to one million by learning about base ten and place value. During math workshop, students have developed their skills through various activities. In reading, students learned to identify various genres and have built their reading stamina by reading "just right" books in the classroom. We will begin AR on the week of September 15th. We have also been busy writing and beginning our first PBL mini-unit on the regions of California.
We had a few exciting events this week! Wednesday was Ms. Gomez's birthday, and we had a joint surprise party. Today (Friday), we enjoyed an educational assembly/musical about mental health: http://www.walkinourshoes.org/
Next week, we will begin PE on Monday and Tuesday! Also, we look forward to seeing families at Open House on Thursday, September 11th at 6:30.
Love,
Ms. Krooss and Ms. Gomez
