Tuesday, November 23rd (58th Day of School)

Math: Power of Ten Cards
Game: 7up!
This game helps students recognize the pairs that add up to 10 (7+3, 8+2, 9+1, etc.) to make adding easier.
The Grade One and Two students have lots of fun playing these games, while learning at the same time!




Science: 5 Senses Experiments

We have been experiementing with our senses. We have been making various instruments to test our hearing and the pitches these instruments make. We also put our taste buds to the test when we found out what parts of our tongue is more sensitive to tastes such as bitter, sour, sweet and salty. Another experiment helped us learn that smell is a huge factor in what we taste, and our last experiment tested our touch when we tried out the hand thermometer experiement and quick catch experiment.

There are no spelling words for Grade 2 students this week. Grade 2's will have another spelling list to practice for next week and Grade 1's will begin spelling tests next week too.
Grade 1's are almost finished their I Can Read books. Please continue to practice those sounds, stories and words with them nightly so that reading comes easier for them. Also, just a reminder to please listen to your son or daugter read their home reading each night! We are on the 58th day of school today for the 100 chart.
