This week in Mrs. Zimmer’s Class!

In math we are continuing to solve subtraction problems using pictures and circle drawings! We will be relating addition and subtraction problems by looking at the partners in the equations.  At the end of the week we will be introducing the vertical forms of addition and subtraction problems, which you will see on their homework for Thursday.

In science we are finishing up our habitat unit with a test on Tuesday! We did a lengthy review today in class to help prepare students for the test, and I think they all will do very well!  Our next chapter in science focuses on how the parts of living things help them survive.  Throughout this unit, we will be talking about what helps animals live in their habitat, how animals get food, what can help protect animals, what the parts of a plant are, and what helps protect plants.

Since it is anti-bullying month, we will be focusing on this topic during Health for the rest of the month.  We will be focusing on ways to keep ourselves safe, what to do if we are being bullied, and also talk about self-esteem and complete self-esteem activities in the classroom.

Don’t forget we do not have school on Wednesday this week!
