It was a wet, windy week full of cozy reading, writing, art, and building. We ventured outside each day to play in the wet weather and finish taking our fall photos. We went to the far side of campus to get photos of the beautiful sequoia tree. We also experimented with indoor photography and various lighting conditions. Students have become technologically savvy at logging onto the ipads, utilizing the camera tool, and adding their favorite photos to individual galleries. In math second graders finished up a unit on Addition and Subtraction up to 20. Then they began to work on adding and subtracting two digit numbers. First graders have been working with subtraction problems as well. In writing, our student authors are working hard at finishing their stories before we start a nonfiction unit next week. We've been using a publishing checklist to polish our final drafts and check for proper writing conventions. Today we took our first field trip to the library to check out new reading materials.
