We started the week learning about healthy foods and how to “sharpen the saw”, the 7th leader in me habit. We learned about the food plate (which replaced the old food pyramid) and sorted foods into different food groups.
We added the sight words do and to and did some practicing with all our sight words.
We have started our bear unit and will be writing a report about a bear when we are all done. Today we are doing a grow a polar bear experiment as well!
Today is our first all school zoom assembly. We decided as a staff that assemblies were something we missed and figured out how to do it on zoom. We will be also highlighting our leaders in action chosen from our classroom. Sam Ozbun was chosen as our first leader as Sam is always a hard worker and kind to others. Congrats Sam!
A reminder that the 100th day of school will be on Monday. They should come dressed like they are 100 years old. We will be doing fun 100 activities all day!
In math, we’re still working on subtraction and different ways to subtract whether that be using fingers, cubes, a number line etc to solve the problem.
We talked a lot about problem solving this week and how we always have a choice when there’s a problem. We can chose ways to solve it or ways to make it a bigger problem. We also revisited apologizing and talked about accepting an apology with an “I forgive you” or “I accept your apology.”
Book orders are due at noon on March 3rd so we can get them back before spring break.
Hope you have a great weekend! I’m sending this early because I get the second booster of the vaccine right after school. Grateful for that!
