Today in Language and Literacy, our Pre-K4 friends focused on words and syllables through fun, hands-on activities! They used their writing tablets to write morning theme vocabulary words with different syllables and helped Ms. Lugo create anchor charts together. Some of the centers included syllable puzzles, “Syllable Stew,” and sorting classroom items by syllables. During math time, they explored 2D and 3D shapes using geoboards to build and identify different shapes!

Today the 3rd graders from Mrs. Quintanilla’s class read Chapter 9: “Beyond Sight and Sound” from their reader! They learned about how people who are deaf or blind communicate in incredible ways. One activity involved spelling out their names using sign language. Students were so excited to learn something new and experience how communication can go beyond words.

4th-grade students in Mrs. Martinez’s Math class worked on division problems. They understand and solve two-digit dividend division problems with a remainder in the ones place by using place value disks and white boards.

Ms. Hernandez 3rd grade students have been learning about the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems that make up our bodies. Today they had fun creating and labeling their own skeletal system using cotton swabs.
