From Miss Kirk...

Science LO: I can read a weather map.
Activity: We watched a short BrainPop video about weather and took notes about things we learned. Then, we did a scavenger hunt using The Weather Channel website and a newspaper weather map to answer questions.


Writing LO: I can explain how an informative article is organized.
Activity: We read an article about Hurricane Sandy and created an outline of the main points in the article.


Reading LO: I can determine the meaning of the phrase "an odyssey".
Activity: We watched a short video about Odysseus and his odyssey, then read the story. Then, we discussed what it meant to have an odyssey, and students wrote their own modern-day version of the story.


HW:*Fluency Folder Reading

Math LO: I can round decimals.
Activity: We learned a new skill today, and it was a little tricky at first, but students caught on quickly! We did some examples on individual white boards, then students played a game in pairs to practice some more.


HW: *Sheet with two rounding problems. Please sign!
