In Religion, we are learning that the Mass is a sacrifice and are exploring our faith.
In Language, we continue to look at writing narratives. Today we watched a short video and used it to inspire our writing. Together we used Google Docs to organize our story. Tomorrow we will take our narrative organizer and write an awesome story together!
Here is the short video we used to help us write a story:
Tomorrow we write the story!
Our anchor chart
How can we describe 3D Figures?
We are continuing to explore our Movement unit in Science. Today, we had to draw a picture using position words. It was harder than you would think! In Math we are exploring 3D Figures at our stations, as well as addition/subtraction with regrouping.
Today we began to look at narratives and created an anchor chart to assist us when we are writing our own stories. It looks a lot like a Shape Go Map that we used to retell a...story! After watching the story 'The Plot Chickens', we discussed things that a narrative must have to be awesome! We remembered to include proper punctuation and add details to 'bump up' our writing.
In Math, we continue to focus on 2D geometry but we are also beginning to work on subtracting 2-digit numbers with regrouping. We used base ten to help us and even got to write on our desks! Here is a great poem to help us remember when we have to 'borrow' a ten!
In Science, we created a solution using Borax (solid) and hot water (liquid). We are hoping crystals will form on our 'snowflakes'. Stay tuned! We also talked about solids that float and sink. A new word was introduced...buoyancy (the ability of an object to float in water or air). We discovered that not all solids float and a lot of them sink!
We continue to work on our geometry unit in math, specifically 3D Solids. We have discovered that there are some big differences between prisms and pyramids. Here are some anchor charts we have made together in the class. As well, we continue to work on our math stations each morning. Two of the stations require students to show their learning with the ipads and upload their work to their individual kidblogs. Be sure to check them out whenever possible...comments are appreciated!
In Language, we continue to work on writing better narratives. Today, we wrote an adventure narrative after watching a one minute video called 'Desert Island.' Together we wrote a narrative that included a problem and a solution. You will notice that we did not start our story with "Once upon a time..." or end with...THE END.
Here is the video prompt:
