Thursday

Good Afternoon!

We had another great day! I won't go into all the details (I'd be typing for forever!) but please ask your child about them!

*played Fan N Pick and Rally Robin (more kagan strategies)

Math: I can relate numbers to myself.
Played a math numbers game where we saw that math is used every day!

Reading: I can brainstorm what good readers do.
We read from Hoot and practiced pre-reading and during reading strategies.  We also read a very neat article on Mars rover, Curiosity.  We picked out text features, related unknown words, and developed the essential need for all living things (to tie into science).

Writing: I can write a fiction passage based on a non-fiction article.
We created our own quick stories as if we were on the Mars rover.  Students wrote their answers on a astronaut helmet.  Come take a look - they are hanging outside our class door.

Science: I can explain a hypothesis.  Please ask your child about this and the experiment we did! It was fun!

**Because our lunch is SO late, I have told the kids they can bring in a snack for themselves.  Students know this must be a healthy snack and one that they can eat while completing their work.  If they are unable to complete their work at the same time, their snack time will be taken away.
**Please no peanut/tree nut foods.

Students worked again to get along with their team groups and work together!
