 What We've Been Up To:​​ ​
​
  • In math we have been working on measurement. We learned that you can measure objects using many different tools and practiced measuring straight lines, curvy/spiral lines, our arms/legs, and even the paths of toy cars that we raced off of a clipboard ramp. ​​
  • During our Reading Workshop time, we learned how to be the boss of our own reading. This means we have important jobs to do as readers: 1. Stop at the first sign of trouble 2. Try something 3. Try something ELSE to get the job done 4. Check it. Do a triple check
​​
  • In Writing Workshop we finished up our final opinion writing piece. Before beginning our next unit on Writing Reviews, we learned about Earth Day and wrote about ways that we could help save the Earth.
​
  • In phonics we learned about 'Bossy R's'. We learned that when the letter R comes after a vowel it changes the sound of that vowel. We practiced these r-controlled vowel sounds by learning key words for each sound. (EX: ar -car,) 
​
  • For Science,  we learned about the Sun through videos and books. We created our own suns- writing sun facts on each ray of the sun. We will continue this unit next week learning about the Moon.

  • For Social Studies,  we've been learning about influential African Americans for Black History Month
 

Reminders
