News:
Reading: We continued learning how to compare texts on the same topic. We reviewed the difference between fiction and non-fiction books. Each day we read two books on the same subject and then often compared them using an organizer. We compared them whole group, with partners, and individually. Writing: We continued working on our biography projects. We finished synthesizing our research notes. Students started creating their presentations - Google Slides, poster, or Google document for "life replica." Word Study: We continued to learn about how to make words plural. We learned that words that end with f and fe change to "ves," some words become new words when plural (mouse to mice), and some words stay the same (fish, deer, etc.) Students did several different activities to practice making words plural - a singular vs. plural page, word search, and more. Math: We started learning about money this week. Students began examining the names, values, and attributes of each coin. We used various strategies to help us add a collection of coins. This included sequencing in order from greatest value to least, using a number line, and skip counting. Science:
We continued learning about weather. We discussed how the water cycle works. Students reviewed wind and air pressure. Using the weather graphs we had made throughout the year, we discussed how weather changes from month to month and season to season. Students started a STEM challenge. Their goal is to create a device that could "trap" a leprechaun. Comments are closed.
