What We Are Learning

• Kindergarten is working on letter review. In math, Kindergarten played a game using shape and positional language to describe and re-create pattern-block designs. They played “Subtraction Top-It”. 
• First Graders used place value to mentally add and subtract 10 from a given number. They also had their Unit 8 Math Assessment.
• Second Graders had their Unit 8 Math Assessment. They also explored equal shares of different shapes. They were introduced to fraction vocabulary. They used pattern blocks to divide shapes, and to make number lines.
• All grades had a lesson from WMSI for Computer Science Class.
• All grades began writing their “My Fairy Tale” for writing.
