Dear Barn Swallow Families,
Last week we kept busy with reading groups and Story Workshop. In math, first graders used number lines for adding and subtracting. Students played the frog jump game to reinforce this concept and the students practiced creating and solving story problems using the number line. Second graders started working on memorizing single-digit addition facts. They focused on 4 facts (2+3=5, 7+5=12, 8+3=11 & 7+2=9) and used them in story problems and fact families. They continued to review telling time and regrouping with addition. On Wednesday we had an In & About. Jackson Bottom came to us and brought their traveling program ‘amphibians.’ Students learned about characteristics and needs of amphibians through several hands-on activities. We spent Friday afternoon making 'get well' cards for our good friend Natalie.
This Friday we will have another Spirit Day at our all school meeting. The theme is dress as your favorite character. The Barn Swallows will be singing two winter songs on the stage in the Grove Room at Central School. You are welcome to come see our performance! All school meetings begin at 9:45 and the Barn Swallows usually go first.
Thank you families!
Sincerely,
Sherry
P.S. I will be posting videos of students sharing their stories soon!
