Dear Parents and Owls,
Here's a peek at what we've been doing in class!
Word Study: Our spelling pattern this week is all about the suffixes -er and -est! We use the suffix -er to mean "a person who does" AND "more" when comparing two things! We use -est to mean "most" when comparing more than two things. You can find a copy of our weekly spelling rule and sight words under our homework tab!
Social Studies: We've been learning all about the beginning of the Georgia colony and how James Oglethorpe, Tomochichi, and Mary Musgrove helped to create what is now Georgia! We made flipbooks all about each important figure from history! A study guide about this information came home with students today AND can be found under homework resources!
Reading: We've been learning all about nonfiction text features. Students have learned now to use the table of contents, headings, subheadings, photographs, and captions to dig deeper into nonfiction text!
Math: In math, we're working on problem solving. Students are working on single-step word problems involving numbers 0-100 and two-step problems involving numbers 0-20. Here's how we've been modeling our problems:
We are busy learning and growing! Our parliament of owls is so smart and hard-working! Let's have another AWESOME week!
