Measurement, Simple Machines and Dance

Today we looked at the math expectations for measurement and created an anchor on how to measure things.  Take a look!

In Science, we read the book "How Do You Lift a Lion" (don't recommend it!) and explored how simple machines help make work easier.  Great book!

In Gym, we began to perform our dances that we have been working on for the past few weeks.  Stay tuned for some videos that will follow later this week:)
We are finishing our 'Best Part of Me' and narratives in language.  Some of us have begun to turn our narratives into books using the Book Creator app.

Measurement and Retells

Today, I am sending home math duotangs for you to check out.  Please sign and return this Wednesday (do not remove any of the sheets please).
We have begun a new math unit on Measurement...specifically linear measurement.  Students worked with a partner to estimate and measure using non-standard tools like cubes, popsicle sticks and paper clips.  We then got together to discuss what we noticed and what we must remember to do when we are measuring objects.

We continue to work on retelling stories.  On Friday, we listened to the story 'The Puppy Who Wanted a Dog' and did a shared retell together.  We are definitely getting better!

We watched the book 'Hooway for Wodney Wat' and did an oral retell too!


At the end of the day, we read 'Owen' and did a written retell with a partner...phew! We worked really hard for a Monday!
