We learned
so much in Reading Workshop this week while researching about a topic with our
partner! We each read books on the same
topic and then learned from one another.
When a reader is interested in a topic s/he gathers as much information
about it as possible!
We finished
our How To writing this week! We picked
one piece, worked on clarifying the
steps and diagrams, edited the writing, fancied it up with color and added a
cover. Then, to celebrate, we shared it
with our 5th Grade Buddy. Our
buddies shared their pieces, too, on their Chrome Books!
In
Second Steps we talked about how our bodies feel when we’re angry and what we
can do about it.
In math this
week we did an activity called “Inventory Bags”, where students found bags
around the room containing various objects (i.e. 5 markers, 2 crayons and 3
pencils), and worked with a partner to add them all together and find a way to
record their findings.
We began a new unit on geography this week and it
is so much fun. We are looking a
different kinds of maps: paper maps, electronic maps, globes and atlases. We made classroom maps for our friends to
find treasure that we’d hidden. We
examined the world on Google Earth and
learned about the colors of our planet.
We also learned the purpose of a legend.
