Thursday

FYI:
*1 More day until the Carnival!!! Our basket is starting to look great! Thanks so much for donating items!!

Science: I can describe how heat moves.
Activity: Today we discussed different ways heat moves.  As in, how heat is transferred and items that help or stop heat transfer (conductors/insulators).  After we learned about this, students made their Shark Tank activities! We didn't present them - we will tomorrow! Unfortunately all of the ice cubes melted!! I will bring in bigger ice cubes to see if they do better tomorrow! Then we will write our synopsis!
No HW

Writing: I can use Word to type my article. OR I can use Podcasting to speak fluency my article.
Students who are finished typing their articles are now working on their speaking and listening skills by recording their articles on a podcast.  I am looking for good fluency! We will hopefully get to share these with you!
No HW

Reading: Miss Kirk will have her solo week next week (where she teaches everything) so she started with her reading unit this week.  We are going back to review theme in different genres as this is a very important skill and we needed extra help on this!  She had the kids work on a whole class activity and then were able to act out a fable and tell the theme of the fable.
No HW

Math: I can convert capacity units of measurement.
Activity: Students worked on different word problems involving capacity.  Students did a great job with this but we are still working to make sure we are Common Core ready! We also started learning the metric length measurements. 
HW: learn the first 3 units of measurement on their measurement conversions sheet

Have a great night,
