Our Learning in English Language Arts & Social Studies:

• We learned about the difference between "au" and "aw" and how to identify them in words.
• This week's Heart Words: very, about, sound, know
• We finished our learning around the 7 Sacred Teachings. Students were working on two concepts this week. First, we learned about humility and how it is represented by the wolf. We talked about what humble means and why the wolf works in a pack, like a team. Second, we learned about truth and how it is represented by the turtle. The turtle represents all the animals that we learned about.
• We worked hard on our artwork and consolidated our learning by creating a poster! The students enjoyed all this learning.

Our Learning in Math:

• We continued developing our fast fact fluency and learned new addition games to play!
• We also finished our learning around indirect measurement and comparing lengths with string.

Our Learning in Gym:

•  We played some fun mat games this week! Ask me what we played.
