Today was a little different than usual as I had a meeting to plan with my team, Mrs. Dorr and Mrs. Parker-Jones so I was out of the classroom for about 1 and 1/2 hours this afternoon. However, the kids were in great hands and it seemed like they never even missed me. In Math, we reviewed one thing I noticed needed one more practice from looking over the assessments. After that, we moved on and worked with symmetry and reflections. We will finish with these transformations by week's end and will then be moving onto place and value of whole numbers. In Reading, we are still working with non-fiction text, which is the majority of what we read as adults. We responded to non-fiction, read an article about the history of chocolate (yum) and did some comparing with this article. In Writing, I changed my plans up a bit because I saw so much interest and creativity during math with creating reflections and symmetrical shapes that I decided to use that and have them write descriptive paragraphs about what they created. We had robots, aliens and even just some circles and rectangles. Today is Constitution Day so in Social Studies, we talked about the constitution: what it is, how it came to be and interpreted the preamble. We used a book, We, the Kids and watched a couple School House Rocks videos and I think they have a pretty good grasp about our constitution. Overall, it was a very productive day.
Have a great evening of conversation!
Mrs. L
