Today, we got to collect data for our very own tally charts! We then began labelling a bar graph which we will fill in the data for tomorrow. A bar graph has to have 5 things: title, labels, categories, a scale and the data. We will keep working on this tomorrow.

We learned about poverty in India today. Ask your child about what poverty does to a coountry's quality of life. 

We tried out our language arts center rotations for the first time today. The students did an amazing job of keeping organized and staying on task. We will practice again tomorrow and two times next week so that we can immediately get back into it after Christmas break! Ask your child which activity they enjoyed the most. 

I realized that I forgot to add a list of spelling words on yesterday's blog. Please review the words below as possible spelling words for this week based on long vowel sounds.


shine

dime

grime

blade

shake

lane

lobe

bome

bone

 I hope everyone had a restful and relaxing long weekend! In math, we worked on regrouping in place value (when there is more than 10 in the ones, tens, an hundreds, you have to "regroup" to make the number make sense). Ask your child about the activity we did with the cards and their math journals today. In social studies, we began learning about the land in Tunisia. When looking at Google Earth, we noticed that the Northern point of Tunisia is all green (so it must be forest or something!), the more central areas are mountainous and the south eastern corner is desert land. Ask your child what else they learned! We learned and practiced our s-blends today, which include an s followed by another consonant (sc, sl, st, etc). Have a nice evening!

Happy Wednesday! Today in science we brainstormed a list of ways to protect our ears. Each student chose one, and made a poster about it including the way to keep their hearing safe, and how it would help. In math we continued learning about how to solve for a missing number in an equation. Our show what you know is a little long, so we will work on it tomorrow and Friday. In language arts we learned about summarizing and completed a class summary about the story "When I Was Eight". Then students created their own summaries about the novel study How to Eat Fried Worms now that they are done the story. They made notes today, and tomorrow will turn it into a cohesive piece of writing!! We also did some more work with alliteration today and the kids have been having a great time coming up with their own tongue twisters! We had our last fire drill of the year today and the students did an excellent job, exiting and entering the building quickly and quietly a well as remaining qui...

Tomorrow we will be doing our show what you know for 3D Shapes! Next week, we will be moving onto multiplication! Earlier this week in science, we learned about how animal mothers meet their offspring's needs. Today, we learned all about animal mothers who abandon their babies and the reasons why they would do so. While sometimes it seemed a little bit harsh, we realized that the reasons for doing so were actually quite logical and reasonable! We also began to learn about different types of habitats and will be doing some research on those next week. We wrote our story outlines today to come up with a logical sequence of events for the beginning, middle, and end of our stories. We did a practice run activity, using picture prompts to create a beginning, middle and end for someone else's story and the students did a fabulous job! The first Flames game is this evening - Go Flames Go!
