Brrr! It’s cold outside… a line we hear quite frequently in
our room every morning. Remember to dress for the weather coming to school. We
started our day by reading our novels in our groups. After reading for a time
we got into our groups and discussed our novels. One part that is interesting
is that all of our group members are at different places in their stories, but
we get to share our understanding with our groups. Sometimes we find an
interesting phrase or we ask questions or I wonder about our stories. After
discussing our books we then reflect on what we have read and discussed by
writing. We continued to finish our human trading card. On our trading card we
included how sound travels from the source through the three parts of our ear
to our brain. The trading card also contains interesting facts, range of our
hearing and safety and protection for our hearing and ears. Some of us even
took home our cards to finish them. Today we started researching an animal and
how they communicate and hear. It was great to see some students were eager to
start their research and had brought in some facts and information. During
math, we worked on estimation, basic facts and word problems. We continued to
work on skip counting by fours.
Later we continued our visualization with the picture book The
Mitten and we compared our visualizations to the actual book. During
physical education and music class we continued to learn our dance that we will
be presenting on Friday, December 16, 2016 at 8:30 am in the gym and parents
are welcome to attend our assembly. We are just one of the dances that will be
performed.
Here are our spelling words for December 12-15 (*Spelling test on Thursday*)
meat meet might enough fight night
listen where bright better friends tight
writes little talks light wonder flight
should quiet than high street fright
many
