Science:
Our objective today (and this week) is on animal adaptations. We discussed different bird adaptations and how each helps it survive in their environment. We did a fun experiment using our own version of different bird beaks and trying to pick up seeds. Students had a chart of different beaks and claws for birds and why each is useful. Next, we completed an ORQ on Bird Adaptations as a whole class to model how the ORQs should look in the future and quality work. These are hanging in the hallway! Maybe you will see them tomorrow!
HW: None
Reading:
*Vocab. words are to the right of the blog page under the title "Vocab". (if you are reading this through an email, you may need to visit the actual blog page to see the vocab. words)Our objective this week is determining the main idea of a text (informational) and explaining how it is supported by key details.
Today we discussed oral stories and the techniques and shared adventure stories. Then we read 2 real-life stories about adventures and found the main ideas of each. Students also got their vocab words for the week and had some time to define the words. Lastly, we got into our Lit. Groups and read 2 chapters as a group working on fluency and expression.
HW: possibly finishing definitions of vocab words

Math:
Today we began our new unit on Estimation and Rounding. Today we focused only on estimation. We did a few activities and some word problems together.
HW: pg. 15 in workbook, estimate only*tests are graded and will be given back hopefully in the Wed. folders once I have been able to enter in grades to the gradebook
Writing:
Today we completed a smartboard activity to help us learn the writing process. Students had a lot of time to get with their writing groups and work together on the writing process. We will begin our first big writing piece of 4th grade by the end of the week - a Personal Narrative.
No HW
Have a good night,
