La lectura

What a busy week! We started our new unit En equipo / On a team. This unit is all about working together in groups or teams to make things easier.  Our first story in this unit was Torta de cumpleaños by Ivar Da Coll. This story was written as a skit and told how everyone combined their birthday gifts to bake an amazing cake for everyone to share.

Next week we will work on a large mural together to show how teamwork really helps get things accomplished.  Many thanks for your help cutting shapes in preparation for this project!

Many hands makes for light work.

Writing: Students wrote in their journals  several times using their words of the day.

Las matemáticas

We continued having a great time with our estimation jar. Everyone is starting to get the idea of what a reasonable estimation is.

We have begun our shape study.  We will combine this study with our language arts theme to create the class mural.

We have also begun working with subtraction on the number line.

History & Geography

This week we wrapped up Colonial trades people by making a class book with trades people paper dolls. We began our next unit on Kings and Queens, each student is working on a vocabulary book to go with the lessons.

Our weekly objectives were to:
•  describe what a king or queen does
• identify and describe Royal objects associated with a king or queen
• indicate that kings and queens still exist today, but there were many more kings and queens long ago
