Using the concepts they learned in science about balancing they were able to complete the task. We used clothespins as "counterweights". The counterweights must be below the balance point. Great job class!!
In reading our topic of the week was How Are Families Around the World the Same and Different?
We read about how different cultures eat different foods, celebrate different holidays and live in different homes. We practiced identifying the characters, setting and events. We also practiced visualizing while we read.
In math, we continue to focus on facts and how to use different strategies when adding. Next week, we will begin to add three numbers together.
In social studies we are learning about communities. We have discussed how people live, work and play in their community.
Today we kicked-off our One School One Book celebration. We met with our book buddies from 4th grade and learned about our book, The One and Only Ivan. Of course, I'm partial to this book because it's about a gorilla.
Thank you to all of the parents who attended Back to School Night this week. We have such great parental support in our community!
Have a great weekend....
