Monday and Tuesday

Hey Everyone - Tomorrow is Picture Day!!! Bring you smiles!

Here is a look at the last two days.

Morning Work: This week we are reading about the Foolish Coyote. He is being tricked by some blackbirds. *** What does the coyote want to learn to do? *** We are also practicing capitalizing names, making end marks at the end of sentences, using the correct form of there-their-they're, and deciding if sentences are commands, statements, exclamations, or questions. *** What does they're stand for? ***

Writing: On Monday we made a list of all the things that we did that day that made us responsible. We talked about things we could do when we get home to be even more responsible. Yesterday we also tasted some burnt cookies. Each student made a web describing how the cookie tasted, felt, looked, smelled, and sounded. Tomorrow we are going to write a paragraph about the burnt cookie.

Spelling: We will be getting new words for spelling on Wednesday!

Reading: We are going to begin reading the story The Fruit and Vegetable Man. Today we worked on lots of vocabulary that is in the story. We also discussed these 2 questions: What kind of store would I like to own? and What is something I have done that has made me feel proud? *** What is an accent? ***

Math: Monday we worked on lesson 1.5. We collected data from our class and made a tally chart. We talked about all the things that need to be included when making a chart or graph. Today we did lesson 1.6 on number boxes. We came up with many different ways to name or make one number. *** Can you name 3 names for the number 12? ***

Science: Yesterday we created a Life Cycle of a Saguaro book. Students had to look through their Cactus Hotel book and come up with the stages of a Saguaro's life. Then they were able to add pictures to their book.
*** What happens to a saguaro when it is over 60? ***

Computers: Today in computers students posted to our computer blog. They had to answer 2 questions related to what we have been learning in science. Check it out below. Be sure to read their comments!
