READ IN WEEK
A big thanks to our special guest this week, Melody Bell, who volunteered her time to come read to a few classes at RBES.
LIBRARY
The students enjoyed meeting our new librarian, Mrs. Sacuta. Library for our class will be every Thursday, so please make sure your child returns their books so they can sign out a new one.
LANGUAGE ARTS
After adding details and the finishing touches, the students worked on their pet rock descriptive paragraphs. They were guided in writing a topic sentence, details and a conclusion. They have been editing them with me, before printing off their published copy.
We continued working on nouns. The students brainstormed their own words for "person, place and thing" and then sketched the meaning.
The students worked on a "Making Words" activity for the letters... a, i, i, g, g, v, n, n, t, h, s, k. After making words independently, they partnered up to find new words. Then we compiled a class list. They are getting very good at finding 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 letter words. The mystery word this week was "Thanksgiving".
After discussing what an acrostic poem is, the students brainstormed together to come up with different words that start with the letters; THANKFUL. They created their own poem explaining what they are thankful for this year.
MATH
This week, we worked on writing pattern rules. For example... Start with ___ and add/subtract ___ each time.
The students now have their usernames and passwords for the online program, "Mathletics". They have all been assigned the activities for the patterning unit. They will be using class time to complete their assignments but can also work from home. Their information has been taped into their agenda.
SCIENCE
We finished the "Rocks and Minerals" unit by adding vocabulary flash cards with the definitions. To prepare for their test, the students quizzed each other and played an online Kahoot game.
AMAZING RACE
WOW!!! We had three more students fly to Canada this week by reading 600 minutes! Way to go!
SPECIAL GUEST
The students were excited to spend some time with our special guest named Zoe!
