2nd/3rd: Week of Feb 26

Math – Ms. Andrea’s math group practiced sorting congruent and similar shapes. Then we dove into solid shapes and examined faces, vertices and edges. We also did a 3D shape mix and mingle to form groups and practiced counting solid shape attributes. The kids learned how to play 5 In A Row and it’s all about STRATEGY! And a little luck. We closed the week by finishing up some geometry work and practicing identifying 2D and 3D shapes. Ms. Kelly’s math group began a new unit on area and perimeter. This week is all about reviewing some basic geometry- What […]

General News Reading/Writing Update In ELA this week we continued to plug away at our opinion writing. On Monday we spent time brainstorming a list of things we have strong opinions about. We discussed that your writing will be better and more fun if you pick something you’re genuinely interested and passionate about! Some Gammas picked topics they already know a lot about and some picked topics they will need to spend a little time researching to learn more about. On Tuesday we started writing an introductory paragraph. This introductory paragraph is deceptively tricky! It contains a brief hook for

Middle School: Week of Feb 26

Math: Da Sprouts took a check in on Monday over expression and then moved on to the equations unit. Tuesday they learned how to solve one-step addition and subtraction equations using inverse operations and Wednesday they solved puzzles to practice setting up inverse operations. Evershrooms reviewed Monday for their check in on Tuesday. Wednesday they began learning about 3D shapes and nets. Polar Bears took their check in over pythagorean theorem Monday and began exploring transformations on Tuesday and Wednesday. Mountain Lizards worked hard to review Monday, but no one else managed to escape to room. All were prepared, however,

Larry Alert! Larry Alert!!! Our leprechaun has returned with more mischief! It is looking more and more like we are going to have to build some traps again this year. Please bring in any 3D recyclables to help us in this math project! In the past we have appreciated receiving any cubes, rectangular or triangular prisms, cones, and cylinders (oatmeal boxes are AWESOME). 2024 could be our year! Larry mixed up our supply bins this week! Our intrepid early birds put things back where they belong! This week in the Ocean… Alphas know that the food chain and webs in

Kindergarten and first grade students at micro school work on science project together.

2nd/3rd: Week of Feb 19

Math – Ms. Andrea’s math group delved deep into geometry by looking at 2D & 3D shapes, noting attributes, and asking some key questions (what makes a rhombus different than a square?) We also updated our math journals with key vocabulary for the unit. We reviewed polygons and quadrilaterals and whizzed through several sorts! We learned new geometry games and enjoyed a couple of game days. Some chose to use this time reviewing math facts! Ms. Kelly is so proud of her math group! Word problems are the HARDEST! Everyday we practice. And practicing everyday is not easy! But it’s
