Daily Message: February 29
This morning we put the finishing touch on some projects. It is great to see how well the children can follow directions. Projects that would have taken half an hour a few months ago are now completed in about ten minutes.
Today in math class we practiced subtracting from 14. The children mastered these facts, but when we reviewed subtracting from 10 through 13 we determined that some of the children should include those in the nightly two-minute review. The children also solved problems like the following: 9+__=13, __+8=14, 12-__=5 and __-5=8. Please remind your child to add today's cards to their subtraction envelope and to return the "keep in folder" envelope to his folder.
In science today we conducted a color separation experiment called
chromatography or separating colors. We used markers, a coffee filter and water. It was a great activity and we made it half way through our recording sheet. We will continue with the activity on Monday. Ask your child about it.
Be sure to say hi if your family makes it to the Book Festival this evening.
Have a great weekend!
