Hola Parents and Guardians,
Apologies for the delayed update, we have been experiencing some errors trying to post.
This week we have been exploring the aspects of a good summary in English, as we prepare to craft our best summaries. We will be using this important skill throughout the year.
In Math we have been exploring place value, and building upon last year's knowledge to represent numbers up to 10,000 correctly. We hope to explore how to compare and order numbers in the coming week.
In Social Studies we began learning about the land, that is maps and directions, and landforms.
In science we began exploring the Scientific Method, the process by which scientists ask and answer questions.
In Spanish we have been slowly reviewing information from prior years, and began exploring pronouns and the verb "ser" (to be). We will be looking at using this verb to express time, and then moving forward into descriptions using the same verb (e.g., "Yo soy baja"-"I am short")
PLEASE NOTE: Our Google Classroom is now active, and students have received an e-mail invitation (at their @educbe e-mail address) to join the classroom. Please guide them in doing so from home.
