Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday 8/11-8/13

We have been very busy these last 3 days.

Reading: We have read three different stories: The Three Little Pigs, The Three Little Wolves, and The True Story of the Three Little Pigs. Students have been working on a chart that compares all the different stories. We have been focusing on making connections and the parts of a story.
****The wolf claimed that he was not trying to knock down the pigs houses. What did he say he was trying to do?****

Math: Students have found out that numbers are all around them. We have searched the room for numbers and our own houses. We have made number grids and are reviewing place value.
***** How would you expand the number 37 ****

Spelling: Students took a pretest of all the priority words. The words they missed have become their spelling words for this week. Tests are on Wednesdays
****Ask your child... When is the spelling test? ****

Writing: How would you describe a bakery fresh chocolate chip cookies? This week we are working on how to use our senses to describe different kinds of cookies. Students will be writing paragraphs and comparing different cookies.
****Give one descriptive sentence telling what the bakery fresh cookie was like.***

Science: On Wednesday we took a look at some bean pods. Students wrote down the properties of the pod. Then they opened it up and found SEEDS inside. Finally the counted up the seeds and we compared all the different pods and amount of seeds.
**** How many seeds were in your pod?****
**** Did you know there were seeds inside?****
**** In science what does property mean? ****
