Ms. Steinberg's Weekly News

In Language Arts we worked on comparing and contrasting. We read Changing Communities and discussed how communities have developed. Students worked in pairs to fill in a Venn diagram. We also read about one-room schoolhouses. We had a blast delivering letters to friends around the school! It was fun making others feel happy. Students had time to choose a writing prompt to write about. They were challenged to use different types of sentences!

Math

In Math we started learning some strategies we can use to make addition easier. We started off with the counting on strategy. Then we learned about using a number line to assist in adding numbers. We played First in Math during Math centers. Some students have told me they are playing at home too! I encourage everyone to play at home. Just type in firstinmath.com and enter your child's username and password. They can play anything within the K-2 world.

Social Studies

In Social Studies we started comparing the past to the present. We charted things our class has done in the past and what we are doing in the present. We read books about the past and present and talked about how things have changed over time. We read about how schools have changed and students recorded the facts they learned on a Venn diagram. We also spent time discussing the election and had a great time voting! We read about Veterans Day and talked about what the day means.
