Universal Pre-Kindergarten
PreK students will focus on bakery vocabulary: baker, delivery, and pastry chef. We will define a delivery person as someone who takes products from one place to another. We will define a pastry chef as a person who specializes in baking pastries or sweet baked food, such as cakes and cookies. We will also continue making even more kinds of bread!
Kindergarten
The Kinder students are enjoying playing on the big playground. They are learning the rules and how to play safely in a bigger environment.
We will continue exploring tricky teens in math. We are learning that every tricky teen has a group of ten ones and some ones left over. We can also show this in an equation: 10+5=15. Counting precisely is hard with bigger numbers. We use the "10 frames and ring a 10" strategy to help us stay precise.
Please continue to read with your child daily. We also encourage you to play board games that involve taking turns and following the rules.
First Grade
Next week in ELA, we will continue working on Unit 5, Week 2. Our phonics sound will focus on soft g and soft c. Our shared reading will be Using Technology at Work. We will focus on describing and writing about sequences of events. We will also continue working on Unit 8: Meanings of Subtraction and Sound & Light in Science.Â
Have a wonderful weekend!
Second Grade
The NES Music Department and the 2nd-grade teachers are pleased to invite you to our second-grade performance: "Kick Off to Music in Our Schools Month, featuring our Jazzy Second Grade." Music in Our Schools Month is in March. What better way to get excited about music than with a performance by our talented second-grade musicians? The location, date, and time for the parent/family performance will remain the same: the NES Multi-Purpose Room (the cafeteria) on Thursday, 27 February at 0830. As a reminder, please plan to arrive at the school no later than 0820 so you can be seated in time for the performance.
We are excited to showcase your student's hard work in music and hope to see you there!
Third Grade
This week in 3rd Grade, we finished our math Unit 8, comparing equivalent fractions, and our ELA Unit 4, Comparing Points of View. Students have been learning how to write opinion essays based on who they thought was the ‘true villain’ from Jack & the Beanstalk (Jack or the Giant?). In science, we learn about magnetism. In social studies, we learn about our local geographical area compared to the USA. We finished this short week with our 3rd Grade Friendship Day when students could share their appreciation for their classmates by giving cards and goodies. Next Wednesday, please make sure your child’s Chromebook is fully charged so they can be ready to learn after the long weekend. Thank you!
Fourth Grade
We hope everyone enjoys a long weekend! Next week, we will continue Unit 9 in math: adding and subtracting fractions.
