Global Day of Play! News:
Reading: We started learning about "close reading" (looking at/examining a text closely to better understand it). We examined fiction and non-fiction texts and discussed what makes up a paragraph. We also explored "narrator", including what 1st and 3rd person means. Writing: Our learning goal was to understand and use commas in our writing. We looked at different places we might need commas. Students searched their books for examples of commas. Small groups read different sentences and decided where to put commas. We also did a Groundhog Day project on Monday. Word Study: We focused on the long u vowel teams of -ue and -ew. These are words like rescue and few. Students did a "What Looks Right?" page to determine which spelling pattern to use. Math: Students took a measurement quick check on Monday. We compared units of length and discovered why measuring in inches would have a larger answer than measuring in feet or yards. Students found the difference of lengths by using a strategy like subtraction. Social Studies:
We read a book called The Little House to demonstrate how humans can affect the environment in positive and negative ways. We started learning about economics. We learned that most people around the world work in jobs in which they produce specific goods and services. Students wrote about a job they would like to have when they grow up. Thank you Mr. Tocknell for coming in and sharing about his job as a pilot! :) Comments are closed.
