Weekly Recap

By far our most popular event of the past week was our field trip to see the Penguins movie. The kids loved learning about Steve and Adeline’s family. Afterward, we talked about the migration patterns of penguins from Antarctica to South America (and then introduced 8 other South American animals for research) and tied that into our current geography and continent studies. In math, we have been focusing on exchanging and borrowing across addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations based on where the students are in their math skills. We have been delving more into paragraph writing, including how to write effective introductions and conclusions. We are also contuining to work on time and elapsed time.

Thank you for all you do!
