Here are some quick updates for our class:
📗 Science - Yesterday, we had the opportunity to build and test paper beams. Today, we reviewed and summarized all of our building and engineering knowledge by playing a game of Kahoot. Ask your kiddo all about it!
The class has been showing a lot of excitement about the balancing animals they have been working on at home! Please let me know if you require any assistance in gathering materials. The projects are due on Monday and the kids will get to present and display their creations next week. Thanks in advance for your support! 😊

📘 Math - We are continuing to refine our 2-digit and 3-digit addition and subtraction skills. We are beginning to explore the traditional regrouping method now that the students have become more confident with their understanding of the role regrouping plays within the place value of numbers.
We also have been practicing our basic facts to increase our mathematical fluency. Click here for flashcards and games you can play at home to assist in further building these skills (scroll to the bottom for printable resources):

📒 Language Arts - As always, we are reading, writing, and working with words every day! We have been rewriting "boring beginnings" by jazzing them up with sensory sentences starters, and descriptive words like actions and sounds! Grab a blank notebook and see what amazing stories your child can fill it with!
