In First Grade this week we learned about the "magic c" to improve our handwriting skills. We also learned to identify the short o and short "i" sounds when reading cvc words during our phonics lessons. First Grade friends were SO happy to enjoy outside recess this week with our "cooler" temperatures! We love to learn and play at CE!
This week in math, 5th graders were asked to show what they know by getting creative. After moving around the room and solving both addition and subtraction with decimals, students then had to take it a step further. Using the pictures under the problems, they needed to work in small collaborative groups and create word problems for those same questions they solved. It allowed them to see the actions of subtracting and adding and not depend solely on "clue words"
Second Grade is working on making questions before, during, and after reading. Making visualizations as we read. Internal and external character traits. Using and practicing our adding and subtracting strategies within 20 with automaticity. Discussing and understanding the properties of matter.

4th grarde says...What a great start to the beginning of the school year. We have had a great time getting to know each other with icebreakers, morning greetings, engaging activities and learning our new routines and procedures. Our 4th graders are definitely "On T.R.A.C.K." because our students have already earned an abundance of Bulldog Bucks. We can't wait to cash in our bucks for some awesome prizes. We look forward to diving into our curriculum next week!
