Reading: This week we continued learning about "close reading" (looking at/ examining a text closely to better understand it). Students identified words on a non-fiction passage where they needed to use strategies to discover their meanings - prefixes, suffixes, synonyms, context clues. We looked at an article we have already seen and reread it to learn how rereading can help us understand a text better. We started working on identifying the main idea of a non-fiction passage. Writing: Our goal this week was to understand and use quotation marks in our writing. We used sentences and dry erase markers to add quotation marks and played a Scoot game to identify which sentence used quotation marks correctly. Students practiced this on several papers. Word Study: We started learning how to make contractions and use an apostrophe in the right place. We worked on identifying the two words that each contraction comes from. We did contraction "surgery" on two words to turn them into a contraction. Math: Our new learning goal is to understand place value to 1,000 including reading and writing numbers, comparing, and skip counting. Students took a pre-assessment on Monday. We worked on representing hundreds, tens, and ones with base ten blocks and in number form. Students played base ten block bingo. They worked on creating different ways to represent the same number. Social Studies:
We collected data about goods/services we would want to buy and plotted them on bar graphs. Students took an Economics Assessment on Tuesday. We started learning about past and present. We discussed the difference between these two terms and watched a video explaining vocabulary like generation and century. Mrs. Hoertz's dad brought his 1930 car for us to examine and compare with today's cars. Comments are closed.
