This week in math, we learned a
new strategy. It is called the Doubles Strategy. We spent time working on building our fluency with our doubles facts too. We listened to the song “It’s Doubles Baby” and played
several math games to build our fluency with doubles facts. Your child should
know their doubles facts to 20. Here is a picture of the strategy and the
doubles facts your child should work on memorizing.
We finished learning about the 5
regions in Georgia. Students really enjoyed learning about each region. We took our post assessment today and the students did great! We focused on each
regions location as well as the type of land, weather, and activities that take
place there. Students created a Regions flipbook to show their knowledge on
each region. Ask your child to share
which region we live in!
This week we talked about leadership and being
part of the Student Leadership Team for our school. If students were interested in being the
representative for our class they were asked to write a speech that explained
why they thought they would be a good representative/leader. Students shared their
speeches with the class and then we voted (secret ballot) for our choice. I was so proud of the 4 students who chose to
participate. They did an awesome job reading their speeches in front of the class. Each student would make a great leader for our class. After counting the votes, our SLT
leader this year is Emmy and our alternate is Brady! Congratulations to all 4 students for showing their leadership qualities and for wanting to represent our class this year. I have attached each child's speech below. Please take a minute to watch them.
