Gamma

Wow! What a crazy week!  We missed our Gammas during the winter storm and were so happy to see them on Wednesday.  Even though we had a two day school week, we were able to accomplish quite a bit. Math          Gamma 1’s reviewed how to compare fractions with different denominators and took a closer look at finding and creating equivalent fractions.  Gamma 2’s reviewed adding and subtracting decimals and applied the skills to a real life situation – shopping at a toy store. We also have begun estimating/rounding with decimals and will continue this next week. ELA      We […]

Quarter 3 is well underway and the Gammas are enjoying the beautiful weather at recess. We are looking forward to our many un-birthday and birthday celebrations that are coming up. Our class had a great start to cursive handwriting this week, and they are really getting it! Looking ahead, we will be entering the world of poetry. Gamma poets will be reading different types of poems and writing some of their own. Enjoy your four day weekend and see you Tuesday! Math Gamma 1’s composed and decomposed fractions this week looking at parts of a whole and fractional parts of

It was wonderful to have the Gammas back this week. What a fantastic start to the new quarter! Even though we may have been a little tired, we really enjoyed jumping right back into the swing of things.. It was especially cool to see our little tadpoles growing their legs and our radishes getting bigger. We are excited for the new quarter and our new theme…Asia. Math Gamma 1’s dove into the world of fractions, learning to recognize fractional parts of a whole. Gamma 2’s jumped right into decimals…reading and writing decimal numbers to the hundredths place and representing decimal

This week was full of fun things for the Gammas. We enjoyed hibernation day on Tuesday, and since we earned 100 Twiggy tickets, we also got to have hot cocoa with marshmallows! We said goodbye to our last butterfly on Wednesday, and we had a blast on our field trip to the Wildflower Center Thursday. The weather was perfect and we learned so much. Tons of thanks to our parent drivers and chaperones. We couldn’t have done it without you. Math Gamma 2’s dipped their toes into algebra this week, by looking at patterns in tables. We were blown away

Gammas had a super week! Our tadpoles are growing fast and showing the first signs of legs. One of our caterpillars emerged from its cocoon and on Thursday, we set it free! Observing and learning about nature firsthand in our classroom has been extremely exciting. We are looking forward to our field trip to the LadyBird Johnson Wildflower Center next Thursday! Math Gamma 2’s polished up their long division skills. We focused on remainders and what they represent in real life problems. Sometimes we can ignore the remainder, and other times the remainder calls for adding one more to the
