This morning we got our new Latin Root of the week: "spec" meaning look/see. Quizlet here!
This morning we also had a meeting with Ms. Gordon to discuss student council. Papers are coming home today with those interested.
In science we conducted our first lifeboat experiment by changing ONLY the height of the boat. Ask your child what conclusions they came to today.
Today's math lesson wrapped up base ten place value introductions. Tonight's homework is challenging, but should be able to be completed for the most part. In the first question I am looking for an answer of one hundred times or one one-hundredth. Do your best, we will review tomorrow.
In writing we jumped into "bend II" of the writing program for narratives. Today we listened to various mentor text great beginnings, then students wrote their own great beginnings to the drafts of their choices. After great beginnings were drafted, students began re-drafting their previous drafts with more detail and exploded moments.
Finally, in reading we practiced questioning the text while reading Sign of the Beaver. Then we split into small group guided reading for the remaining 40 minutes of the day. Great questioning by my blue group! I can't wait to see their Google search results tomorrow!
