Students are playing Coding with Awbie! Students in all grades are learning to code using Coding withAwbie. Students are learning about sequence, patters and basic coding skills in small groups of 3 or 4.
PE
This week during Physical Education, our outdoor activity features an exciting Lacrosse game, with students competing as they strive to gain possession of the ball through raking or scooping techniques.
When indoors, our grade 2 and 3 students are enjoying a modified version of Lacrosse called 4 Goal Lacrosse, using larger soft balls for added safety and fun. For our younger students in kindergarten and grade 1, indoor sessions focus on honing passing skills and mastering ball pickup, with a variety of engaging drills and games designed to enhance their abilities.
KINDERGARTEN
This week in Kindergarten we read the story Peter’s Chair and discussed how we can help at home. Students will work on sight words where & good. In math, students explored sorting objects into categories and counted and compared the number of objects in each category. Students were asked to explain their thinking by using math vocabulary such as equal to, same as, less than, greater than, etc.
GRADE 1
Our question this week was “How do things get built?” We learned how ships are made and the different materials used to construct them. In addition, we discovered some fascinating bridges located all around the world. These bridges are also constructed utilizing various materials. One bridge that we learned about actually curls up into a circle so boats can pass by! Also, we are wrapping up our unit on suffix endings -ed/-ing and vowel teams. The children will be assessed before moving on to the next unit. Happy Mother’s Day to all and enjoy your weekend! 🙂
GRADE 2
Second grade students have been working hard this week. They are working on geometry skills during math and continue to read various stories from our Wonders reading program like, “A Call to Compost.”. This week we are preparing for our big second grade Disney concert by rehearsing together. We can’t wait to perform for you next week! Enjoy this beautiful spring weather!
GRADE 3
Extremely proud of our third graders for their perseverance through math MCAS this week. We could not be more proud!
