Wk 3 Newsletter August 24-28


Last week was an awesome week! We learned two math games to help us with place value. We worked on mastering the properties of addition.

On Wednesday, we visited Miss Jennifer for our weekly library visit. She taught us about research. What is it and how do we conduct research? Miss Jennifer allowed us to choose an animal. We had to research to find out its habitat, what it eats, and an interesting fact. It was way cool! We learned tons about elephants, giraffes, chameleons, gorillas, lions, and many more. Who knew research could be such fun?
