Eighth Week of School

Our story this week was written by Eric Carle and we made some paper like he does for his collages. We are working on using it to make some cool pictures. We spent a lot of time learning about drawing conclusions. Using our schema, what we know and the author's words in the story to help us draw a conclusion. We learned more about leaves and seeds and saw many of these on our field trip at the Oubache State Park. We made up addition and subtraction story problems and shared them with another class on our first skype call this year with a Second Grade Class in Pennsylvania. They answered our problems and had lots of fun. We will skype with them next week while they share their math word problems with us. Some really good life skills were learned at the NED program: Never Give Up, Encourage Others and Do Your Best. I hope the students use these throughout this school year and their lives.
