First of all, sorry about not blogging yesterday--didn't get home until 8:30 and well, you know... Anyway, yesterday, in Math, we began data collection and representation--which the kiddos are doing amazing with by the way! We continued reading Heartbeat for Read Aloud and then worked on Poetry in Reader's Workshop with reading, interpreting and comprehending the author's message and then wrote different kinds of poetry for Writer's Workshop. We concluded the day learning about the physical properties of matter--luster, density, conductivity as well as shape and size.
Today, in Math, we used individual packs of Skittles to collect and interpret data. We found that in our class, red is the least represented Skittle where purple is the most. Most students had 15 Skittles in their packs while Evelyn was a big winner with 17 in her pack! In Read Aloud, Annie told us more about her life. In Reader's Workshop, we illustrated our riddle poems, tried to find poems that had deeper meaning and interpret the author's words and read lots of poetry. In Writer's Workshop, we continued to experiment and try out different kinds of poetry. Some kids are still just staying at the surface of their emotions and writing about things like Goldfish, Jelly and Sports while others are tapping into their deeper emotions and showing their vulnerability in some pretty awesome poems. We will be picking one poem to publish. illustrate and create music to. In Science, we took our knowledge of the physical properties of matter to explain the physical properties of different objects.
