Week 20, FervorosoFirst! Students are busy at Math Explore WorkStations and other WorkStations at The Academy of Hope. We are currently beginning new Social Studies discovery, including using technology to video-conference and interview a student living in Washington State who experienced the epic snowstorm this past week (students were able to view the massive snow amounts and submit questions), and upcoming is a video-conference call in Arlington Heights just outside Chicago at an elementary school there with another first grade who we are pen-pals with this year; mastering measurement and addition/subtraction skills while exploring new concepts in Math; delving into Chapter Books in Reading; reviewing Word Families, word endings, blends, story mapping and statement/question identification and composition in ELA, and oh so much more!!! Exhausting , but fun and so educational:)
