Looking at old phones during Social Studies! News:
Reading: This week we continued learning about "close reading" (looking at/ examining a text closely to better understand it). We learned how to find the main idea/topic of an article and how to identify supporting details. We practiced this as a group, with partners, and individually. Writing: We finished learning about quotation marks. Students practiced adding commas and quotation marks to several sentences. We discussed our new research project that we are starting next week - biographies. Students learned about several possible Americans to choose from and picked one to start researching next week. Word Study: We continued working on writing contractions. Students played "teacher/student" with contractions and wrote contractions for each two-word card they found around the room. We took the assessment on Wednesday. We spent two days discussing compound words and made a compound word flip book. Math: Understanding place value continued to be our focus this week. They worked on creating different ways to represent the same number. They learned the meaning of base ten numerals (235), expanded form (200+30+5), and number word (two hundred thirty-five). We worked on comparing numbers using symbols and comparing sentences (greater than, less, than, equal to). Students ordered numbers using words greatest and least. Social Studies:
We continued learning how science and technology have changed our daily lives (past and present). Table groups made timelines of different types of transportation. We discussed how communication has changed over time. We explored what life would be like for a student in the future and in the past and did a past and present sort. Students enjoyed exploring the old items I brought in. Comments are closed.
