News:
Reading: We continued to identify the points of view of characters in books. We read a book about the point of view of ants in a kitchen. We compared the perspectives of Stellaluna (a bat) with her friends the birds regarding food and sleep. We saw how a story changes based on which character is telling the story (Three Little Pigs vs. The Wolf). We read The Day the Crayons Quit and discussed the point of view of each of the crayons. Writing: The class enjoyed going to the Publishing Shop to publish their small moment stories. Some students spent time finishing their stories, and others had time to free write. We shared our stories with the class and took them home on Friday. :) Word Study: We reviewed that vowel teams are two vowels that go together and say the sound of the first vowel. Students played teacher/student with "a" vowel teams (ai, ay) and "e" vowel teams (ee, ea). We learned about the "ie" vowel team. Math: The class continued to work on strategies to subtract within 100. We reviewed decomposing the smaller number to make it easer (45-26: break 26 into 20 and 6 and subtract them separately from 45). We used an open number line to subtract, remembering to take away tens and ones to find the difference. Social Studies:
Students created a map of their choice which included a map key, compass rose, and at least 6 symbols. We started learning about the 7 continents and 5 oceans. We listened to a song, used laminated maps, and answered questions about the continents and oceans. Comments are closed.
