**Special Award**
The first and second grade class was awarded a special certificate on Friday! Mr. Lee presented our class with an award highlighting our extra effort in teamwork during Art class! We worked to clean up and take care of our materials quickly and safely.
3 Scoop Retell Party
Readers' Workshop
In readers' workshop we worked on perfecting our retelling and summarizing skills. We logged onto Seesaw to practice our retells and summaries by recording ourselves! I listened to students' recordings and then provided them feedback on ways they could improve their retells or summaries. We created detailed bookmarks of our favorite parts of the book. At our party on Friday, students were so excited and did an amazing job talking with their partners! Thank you to all of the families who donated items!
Writers' Workshop
Students finished up their final draft google docs on Monday. Together as a class, we worked to create a Google Slide show displaying our learning targets and each child's final draft page. We also worked on our end of unit writing assessment, and had some free choice writing time! The first and second graders are such creative writers. I LOVE free choice writing time because I see students use many of the strategies, and skills we have learned during our units of study!
Technology
This week we focused on digital citizenship and staying safe while using the internet. We also worked on navigating to our classroom blog, logging into our email accounts, filling out a google survey and continued building on our typing skills on typing.com.
Math
In math we finished up our unit on place value and the number-line. Students were measuring and comparing heights of different kinds of penguins, which they loved! We began work on new math stations which focused on geometry and fractions which aligns with our number corner work for the month of April. We are studying 2D shapes and their attributes. On Monday, we will begin Unit 6 which focuses on story problems and strategies for addition and subtraction within 20.
Big Buddies
On Thursday, we met with our big buddies from the 4-5 classroom and reviewed our PAWS rules. We focused on the rule Always Respect Yourself, Others and the Environment. We brainstormed 30 ways to be kind to others. Each student created their own marshmallow peep and wrote a way they would be respectful!
