In Language Arts this week, we talked about the oi & oy vowel patterns and the sound they make. Students got in pairs, and Read to Someone a short story about oi & oy words. Afterwards we brainstormed as many words as we could that you hear that sound and played Wordo (or BOINGO)!
In Science, we are wrapping up our unit on Plant Needs! We took a peek at our flower we have growing to talk about the life cycle of plants! We know that most plants start as seeds, move to seedlings, and then adult plants that will release seeds and the cycle starts all over again!
This week we talked about how we use plants as humans. We know that we can eat plants, such as fruits, vegetables and some seeds. Then we went further to think about what in our world comes from plants. We came up with lots of things we eat, use and wear that come from plants! In partners, students used chromebooks and slides to create a slide presentation that shows what items come from plants.
Here is a sample of what we did! And Another!
In Social, we talked about how things have changed since the past, especially in terms of transportation, games, and how we spend our free time.
In Math, we are still talking measurement! This week our focus was on weight and area! When we worked on weight we talked about how we use a scale to tell if something is heavier or lighter. As a class, we compared a few objects to see which were heavier and lighter. Then students were in small groups comparing classroom objects to see which were heavier and lighter and had to share their findings with the class.
Next, we talked about surface area and how we measure it. We compared a piece of paper to the back carpet and decided which takes up more area? In small groups they covered their desk tops with cards and measured the surface area. Once they had a number, they measured chair seats to compare which had the larger area.
