Hello families, This week we completed the last Scared Teaching which is the Turtle, representing truth. Students tied together their learning by creating some meaningful art depicting one of the Sacred Teachings that they connect with the most. 

Hello families, It was a busy week! We had the opportunity to explore a school wide learning provocation in our Learning Commons. So far there is a large aquarium with some eggs inside. Students were so excited to guess what is going to come from these strange looking eggs. We also looked at some photos from earlier this week, as they have already started to change! Students took part in an "I see, I think, I wonder" activity to practice their observation and research skills.

Hello  families , This week we jumped back into our school routines and spent some time sharing about our Winter break through a sharing circle and writing. We also reviewed "sky, grass, ground" letters and practiced our writing stamina. Some students practiced copying a paragraph, while others used a picture prompt to create their own.  In math we finished up the final step of the T-Shirt Problem. This included learning about the terms "addend", "sum", and "operation" as well as the math strategies doubles, and repeated addition. As we continue to learn mathematical vocabulary, it will be added to our "math trees" in our classroom. Students then completed multiple computations to find their sub totals, and then a final sum, representing their final answer in a sentence with a dollar unit.  We learned two new math games: Erase (with 10 sided dice) and Go Fish for Ten. Ask your child how to play these games and try them at home!
