In Math this week we have been working with the base ten system. We have been working with units, strips, mats, strip mats, and mat mats. We also built “THE GREAT WALL OF BASE TEN!!!” Which has a unit, strip, mat, strip-mat (10 mats put together) and a mat-mat (10 stip-mats put together. That is why we call it,“THE GREAT WALL OF BASE TEN!!!” We also did a pre- assessment to unit 2.
In Science this week we did a lot of learning! In the beginning of the week we were trying to figure out what systems work together. We figured out a lot of them work together! Also, we watched a video the nervous system and we did an activity on the computer as a class on the overhead.
In Number Corner this week we have been looking at the calendar to see so far what the pattern is. We estimated and and even when over some things in class to maybe help us make more predictions, observations, and noticings.
Reading and Writing
In reading this week we have been putting the last touches on our Non-Fiction posters and we also read an article called, “What Do Blood Cells Do?” After we read this we filled out a sheet with boxes that were titled the Main Idea and 3 supporting details. Basically we were practicing doing a summary.
In writing this week we have been continuing our Narratives and we should have them done by next week! We also did a lesson about paragraphs. We learned what a paragraph is and when you start a new one in a piece of writing. After we talked about this as a group we went back into our Narratives and checked if we had places where there should be a new paragraph. We also went back to make sure there was punctuation, spelling was correct, and capitalization at beginning of words.
