Mrs. Eckstrand’s Room
This week our Jesus story is “Jesus Returns to Heaven”. We are talking about the two jobs: telling & baptizing. And one comfort: with us always, that Jesus gave us when he is ascending into heaven. “I am with you always” is our Memory Treasure.
For Science this week we discovered how and why birds migrate.
In Social Studies we took a plane to Alaska to climb Mount Denali.
Art last week was fingerpainting a spring tree. This week we made a Mother’s Day gift.
In Movement we have been learning Kickball. This week we are running bases and trying to get home before the pitcher gets the ball.
Preschool: Our number review is 5 and 15. Our letter review is Bb, Dd, Gg, Oo, and Vv. We are using stickers to decorate our letters. We are also working with patterns.
Kindergarten: Our Reading has the superkid going on a scavenger hunt looking FOR lots of items. In Math we finished up calendars and have begun learning time to the hour.
Keep sending in spring planting showcase pictures 😊
Mrs. Utsch’s Room
In 1st grade math we showed ways to make 25¢ and 100¢, identified and compared money amounts, and identified ways to make equal amounts of money using coins or one dollar. In reading we read words with the oy and oi pattern, identified synonyms and used adverbs with -ly in sentences, and read the story “The Lost Mitt.” The next spelling test is Thursday, May 5.
In 2nd math we showed and described equal shares of shapes and identified and drew different ways to show equal shares. In second grade reading we read pattern words that have the long o spelling pattern spelled ow, oa, oe, -old, and -ost, identified and corrected mistakes in a written passage and used editing marks to correct it, used adjectives to describe nouns, and identified meanings and correct spellings of homonyms.
In 3rd grade math we used estimation to find a product and multiplied 2 and 3-digit numbers using an algorithm. In reading we are reading “Shiloh” by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor.
In religion we learned that Solomon used his wisdom to rule as God wanted. True wisdom comes to us through God’s Word, the Bible. King Solomon and King Jeroboam led their people away from the true God. When our leaders rule in sinful ways, we must be careful that we’re not led into sinful actions.
