Literacy week is coming up! We are so excited to celebrate our love of reading with some special activities that we have planned for the kiddos! Please see attached for the note that outlines the events for next week. This note was also sent home on Thursday on bright yellow paper. 📚
👂 Science - We had so much fun this past week completing more experiments to continue strengthening our understanding of hearing and sound. Please help your child remember to bring their sound gadget instrument and project pages to school on Monday. I have attached the pan flute example pages as well as the blank project package to be completed for your child's sound gadget. These were also sent home on green paper 2 weeks ago. Here are some key understandings to remember:
- Low pitch is caused by slow vibrations.
- High pitch is caused by fast vibrations.
- Volume can be easily controlled by how hard or soft you hit/pluck/blow on the instrument.
- Harder would create a louder volume.
- Softer would create a quieter volume.
📘 Math - We have been exploring how to efficiently use a hundreds chart to add and subtract 2 digit numbers. We played the hundreds chart hustle and hop games to practice these skills this week. We will be adding and subtracting using base ten blocks next week!
