Gamma

Another successful week in the books for the Gammas. It’s great to be in the final stretch before spring break, and we are proud of our class for finishing strong. There is a lot of fun learning still happening as we end Q3 and begin the month of March. Watch for an email coming soon about signing up for optional spring conferences.  Math  Gamma 2’s were a bunch of smarties this week learning to  simplify fractions by finding the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator.  I have been very impressed with their work ethic during the math lessons, and […]

“Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere.” Even though it was a  short week, our classroom has been full of energy! Students loved exploring proverbs and learning about Confucious.   They had so much fun doing the  dragon dance in the AHB parking lot and learning about its cultural meaning.   Gaga ball has been a huge hit at recess, with students eagerly jumping into the pit for fast-paced fun.  What a great week! Math  All the Gammas explored problem solving about a real life scenario – planning a Lunar New Year party.  This was a great

February is shaping up to be a busy and productive  month in our classroom! Students are  exploring the beauty of poetry and discovering real-world connections through geometry and fractions.  We celebrated Friendship Day with a fun class party and  appreciate our Gamma moms who helped make this happen.  We look forward to our Chinese New Year activities next Tuesday..  It’s been a wonderful blend of academics and celebrations! Math  Gamma ones have entered the realm of geometry, learning about two-dimensional shapes and their attributes. They’re learning lots of new geometry vocabulary, including polygon, angle, vertex, line segment, ray, etc…  Gamma

So many exciting things happened in our class this week.  It was nice to have a full week of school with our sweet Gammas.  We have been enjoying the nice weather at recess and are looking forward to a fun Friendship Day celebration next week.   Math  Gamma 1’s wrapped up our study of fractions.  We did a fun activity dividing paper cookies that showed us how fractions relate to division.   They really seemed to get it and did well on the fraction check-in.    Gamma 2’s reviewed all things decimal with a  Starbucks menu assignment and knocked the

Wow! What a crazy week!  We missed our Gammas during the winter storm and were so happy to see them on Wednesday.  Even though we had a two day school week, we were able to accomplish quite a bit. Math          Gamma 1’s reviewed how to compare fractions with different denominators and took a closer look at finding and creating equivalent fractions.  Gamma 2’s reviewed adding and subtracting decimals and applied the skills to a real life situation – shopping at a toy store. We also have begun estimating/rounding with decimals and will continue this next week. ELA      We
