In Social Studies today we discussed what topics that we might like to research for the textbook page we will be making. Students gave many topic ideas. Tomorrow we will group the topics so that when we are researching for our textbook page we are able to connect topics with sub-topics. This will help to make our writing organized and clearly communicate our message.
In Math today we talked about what a referent is. We then selected a referent in our classroom to represent 1 cm. Our task was use this referent for 1 centimeter and estimate the length of three different objects in the classroom.
We will continue to explore this concept tomorrow.
We will be staring a project on Friday to help demonstrate our understanding of our class read aloud The One and Only Ivan. Students will be making a diorama of Ivan or Ruby’s domain. We generated a list of things that might be included in Ivan and Ruby’s domain today. Some students may want to build all of the Big Top Mall and Video arcade. In order to begin this project student will need to bring in a shoe box and perhaps some materials from home if there is something special they would like to include in Ivan’s domain.
Thank you to those of you who have been collecting donations for our Muscular Dystrophy fundraiser. We will be having our HOP dance tomorrow in gym class. Online donations will be open until Wednesday next week.
Please bring in a shoe box for Friday.
Spelling test is Friday.
Read for 15 minutes this evening. As you read this evening practice looking for strong verbs. Record a list of verbs that you think make the writing more interesting. Bring your list into class so we can add them to our class word list.
Have a wonderful evening.
