Academic Update

• With our shortened four day week, we accomplished a lot! We began our new IB unit, It Takes a Village, on communities. We began discussions about what is a community, what and who are in a community, and what we would like to learn about communities. Hopefully the girls are continuing these discussions at home with questions and inquiries. In math, we talked about even and odd numbers and practiced counting by 2s, used clues to identify blocks in the "Read My Mind" game, divided groups in half and compared numbers to find the larger and identify how much larger. Ask your little darling what a half is? We also read about President's Day, Abraham Lincoln, and George Washington. Our literacy for the week focused on the oo, ee and ea combinations, homonyms and homophones, and completing the class book.
• Next Monday and Tuesday, we will continue our learning from this week and focus on presenting our projects.
