This week in Mrs. Zimmer's Class!

We are starting our new Math unit about place value! The unit will focus on tens and teen numbers, then place value to 100, and then addition strategies.  This week we have been talking about 2 digit numbers and using a 10 X 10 grid in class to visually see the relationship between tens and ones.

We just finished up our Science unit about food chains on Monday and Tuesday, and tomorrow we are going to start our Earth Science unit!  In this unit we will be learning about what makes up the Earth and how it is made of different kinds of land and water. We will talk about how living things use natural resources and the ways to protect them such as reusing, reducing, and recycling.  New vocabulary words for this chapter are:

rocks

sand

natural resource

clay

humus

weathering

erosion

minerals

In Health, we are making a compliment chain to hang in our room to remind us of all the nice things we can say to others or to ourselves to make us feel good while creating a loving environment in the classroom.
