Welcome to my blog!

I will be sharing the 2013-2014 school year with my readers.




Presently students are in the process of transitioning to third grade. We are working on building a Tribes' Community where students will develop a rapport with one another so they will feel comfortable in the classroom.




October in Room 17


In October students will complete their study of character development and write a narrative about a personal experience which impacted their feelings, actions or motivations. Stories that students read to help them with this unit include:









Math


In math students have been learning about grouping numbers in tens and hundreds. Students practiced their addition and subtraction facts. Multiplication was introduced as equal grouping.




Examples of equal grouping are given below:





In October students will focus on place value to the 1,000 place. Students will continue working on word problems in math.






The field trip to Wood Memorial Library initiated the study of our Native American Unit. Students will learn about the environment, way of living, food, homes and roles of the Wampanoag people.






Further updates will be coming as the school year progress.
