Hello! Happy Friday! I hope you are enjoying the warm weather-- minus the smoke! Wishing you all a lovely long weekend. Here is what we have been up to this week!
---------------------------------------------------
Students learned about the two sounds for the double /oo/ spelling pattern. They worked on making words using those letters and completed a Word Ladder for this vowel pair.
In writing, we began to learn about Persuasive Writing. Students learned what it means to persuade (convince) someone. They had to argue if it was better to be a kid or an adult. They came up with some interesting reasons to support their opinions!
In Math, students began learning about 2D and 3D shapes. They began by reviewing the 2D shapes and going on a shape hunt.
In Science, students finished their dioramas of spring. They used a checklist to ensure that they had included all the required information in their dioramas. Next they will begin writing about the different signs that tell us it is spring.
In gym, students began learning the fundamentals of soccer. They learned how to trap a ball, pass using the inside of their foot and played some fun games to test their skills.
