On day 6 we will meet with Mrs. Molloy's class to work on reading and writing skills. The lessons are designed to provide opportunities for both buddies to work on reading comprehension, fluency, and writing about reading. We can't wait to share our projects with you throughout the year!
It has been wonderful to meet our first grade reading buddies from Mrs. Molloy's class! This is the first time most of us have been the "older" buddy and with that comes a lot of responsibility. We have been learning about the importance of being responsible role models. On day 6 we will meet with Mrs. Molloy's class to work on reading and writing skills.

We have been reviewing place value concepts during math. Recently we made "Place Value Power Towers" The challenge was simple, you needed to make a tower with exactly 25 place value blocks. Afterwards, we used our knowledge of place value to fill out the amount used of each block and the value for each place. Figuring out the total value of each tower was challenging, but we did it!
It has been a wonderful start to the school year! We have been working hard and learning more about our new classmates. I can't wait to check out all of the "Brown Bag Biographies" this week. We started our first math unit; place value. We are also spending a few weeks reviewing addition and subtraction facts. We will be moving full steam ahead with multiplication and division shortly, so it's very important to put forth your BEST effort. Trust us....knowing these facts will make 3rd grade math a lot easier and these facts are something you will use DAILY throughout life :) Thank you for all of your hard work. We are proud of you and look forward to the upcoming weeks! Mrs. Peek & Mrs. Newkirk :) Welcome back to school! We had a great first day back and it was great to see you all again :) We have been busy at work this summer cleaning, organizing, and decorating our classroom. Here are some before photos: And....here are the after photos: We had such a great day with you. What was your favorite part of the school day? Feel free to tell us in the comment section.
