Math
This week in math we completed our money unit by playing lots of games and taking our post assessment! Next up is Graphs & Data.
ELA
In phonics this week we met the diphthong /aw/. Diphthongs are special types of sounds that glide from one vowel sound to another. The spelling patterns for /aw/ are: au (taut), and aw (paw). Our sight words were: think, thought and through.
Another book club has finished their novel! TWO clubs will be starting new books on Monday!! Stay tuned…
Theme
Our insect fictional final drafts are almost complete! All we need to add is a catchy cover! Next week we will create a cover AND we will explore poems for two voices and partner up to write some of our own!
Our little entomologists learned all about the not so lowly worm. 🪱 Did you know a worm has no arms, legs or eyes? Or that baby worms are not born. They hatch from cocoons smaller than a grain of rice? Or that even though worms don’t have eyes, they can sense light, especially at their anterior (front end). We read about, observed and performed experiments on nightcrawlers and red wigglers! We observed how they moved, and if they preferred wet or dry as well as light or dark, and recorded all our findings. When we finished up we gently played with the little guys before donating them to Gamma’s Worm World.
And instead of dissecting worms to check out their anatomy (No eyes? 5 hearts! What???), we made models of all the interesting parts inside their bodies using clay, and labeled them – including the mouth, brain, five hearts, the crop, segments, skin, bum, and lastly the intestines.
