Week in Review

We have had so much fun learning about Fairy Tales with this unit!

We've been able to apply so many comprehension strategies - one of them being cause and effect. To help us get a better understanding of what that means, the kids were challenged to determine causes and effects for real life events in our classroom.

We've also been using these new strategies to help us design and write our own fictional narratives. We've spent a lot of time in the pre-writing phase, sharing our ideas and "reading" our pictures to our friends.

In math, we started exploring place value with double digit numbers up to 100.

On Friday, we had a spontaneous decision to learn more about the patterns of the seasons! The kids were all very curious about how we "know" when the first day of spring is each year, so we did a MysteryScience lesson on the topic.

To end our week, the kids had fun celebrating Arty Party Day!

Have a great week!
