Gamma

This week was full of fun things for the Gammas. We enjoyed hibernation day on Tuesday, and since we earned 100 Twiggy tickets, we also got to have hot cocoa with marshmallows! We said goodbye to our last butterfly on Wednesday, and we had a blast on our field trip to the Wildflower Center Thursday. The weather was perfect and we learned so much. Tons of thanks to our parent drivers and chaperones. We couldn’t have done it without you. Math Gamma 2’s dipped their toes into algebra this week, by looking at patterns in tables. We were blown away […]

Gammas had a super week! Our tadpoles are growing fast and showing the first signs of legs. One of our caterpillars emerged from its cocoon and on Thursday, we set it free! Observing and learning about nature firsthand in our classroom has been extremely exciting. We are looking forward to our field trip to the LadyBird Johnson Wildflower Center next Thursday! Math Gamma 2’s polished up their long division skills. We focused on remainders and what they represent in real life problems. Sometimes we can ignore the remainder, and other times the remainder calls for adding one more to the

The Gammas have been loving the beautiful weather. It was perfect for nature walks and fun recess activities. One more week until a well deserved Thanksgiving break.

Math Gamma ones explored division this week and learned how it is related to multiplication. They gained an understanding of the concept of division by listening to stories that involved division. They are becoming experts on fact families! Gamma twos also explored division by applying the rules of divisibility and dividing by 10’s

Wow! This week really flew by. These Gammas impress us every day with the knowledge they have and their eagerness to learn cool new things! Math Gamma ones wrapped up multiplication by solving and creating word problems. We will be setting our sights on division next week, but please keep working on memorizing those basic facts. In Gamma 2 we learned about factors and multiples and played “Factor Captor”. Our week was rounded out by learning the rules of divisibility which will help as we tackle long division. ELA This week Gammas read several fables and learned the characteristics of

Worms, radishes, tadpoles…oh my! Our classroom is teeming with life! What a fun week for our Gammas. We have worn many hats these past few days: gardeners, actors, and scientists. To top it all off, we enjoyed an exciting Halloween fair and parade on Thursday. It was so fun to see the cool and creative costumes. Math In Gamma 1 we played games to strengthen our knowledge of basic multiplication facts, and then moved up to two by one digit multiplication. They are picking it up quickly! In Gamma 2 we wrapped up our focus on multiplication by completing an
