Today, we learned.../Hoy aprendimos...
In PE, we started working with scooters and talking about how to use them safely. In Math, we continued working with 2D shapes and learned what polygons (polígonos) are. In Español, we did a reading assessment with Srta. Tugle and also worked on vocabulary for our new unit on animals (animales). Then, we had a practice for the assembly on Thursday. In ELAL, we did our literacy centres and worked on finishing our writing for "The Best Part of Me." Finally, in Science we continued learning about minerals.
Tomorrow.../Mañana....
Tomorrow, we have library. We will continue working on polygons in math and introducing more vocabulary for animals in Español.
