Well, it has been quite a few busy weeks in room 24~ Our update will start with today ! We gave our March Speeches and there were some really creative speeches! If your child was absent today, or didn't have a speech today, I have set some time aside on Wednesday for the make-ups. Below are some pictures of our speeches, and some videos from those who were willing!
This week in math we started to discuss the relationship between fractions, decimals and percents. One of the highlights for the children is that they can use calculators for some of this. This is a hard concept to master, but they have done well! To reinforce these skills, we learned two math games in the last two weeks ~ Fraction / Percent concentration and Fraction Match. We have a chance to play these games during math class a few times weekly. If you would like to try them out with your child, please encourage them to bring them home. (They just need to return the game cards each day.)
Last week we began learning about Mythology. This is a lot of fun for most of the children. We have read several myths, and the children have been bringing some of our myth books back and forth to school. We will continue learning about myths for the next few weeks, and finish the unit by making trading cards of the mythological creatures we've learned about.
Happy Birthday to our March Birthdays, Margot, Trevor, Aidan and MISS JOHNSON!!!
We loved having Miss Johnson in our room on Monday! It was a nice added treat.
In English we have been discussing PRONOUNS. Here is a Schoolhouse Rock Video on pronouns. We have watched it in school, and I think it would be helpful for the children to watch it before our Pronouns Test.
