What's New?!

We wrapped up our unit on sound by having kids demonstrate their understanding of how the experiments that we did showed that all sounds are caused by vibration. We've now moved on to a study of magnets. Kids have been doing a lot of hands-on exploration with many different kinds of magnets. We have some super scientists in our class!

In writing, we concluded our unit on revision and have moved into a study of paragraph structure. Our young writers are learning how to write topic sentences and support these sentences with proof sentences.

Vista 1st and 2nd grade readers are currently studying story elements. Characters, setting, movement through time, and problem and solution are the elements that we have been focusing on. I have been really impressed by the progress that the kids have made in reading so far this year.
