Today in reading and writing we (again) worked on our animal reports. We also did some fiction writing and shared with the class. We focused on maknig sure our stories had all 4 parts: Characters, setting, problem, and solution.
In math we worked on elapsed time as well as phrases like 'half past' and 'quater to' I am seeing a lot of improvement and am amazed at how the 'lightbulb' just seems to 'turn on' regarding these topics for a lot of students. We have been working hard to review and learn these concepts in class periodically throughout the year.
We also learned the word 'simile' today and defined it as: a sentence that compares TWO different things. It always has the word LIKE or AS in the sentence. For Example: The grass is as green as a leprechaun’s hat! We are making simile rainbows to hang up in the classroom :)
Thanks to all of you who volunteered to go on the field trip with us. Permission slips will be coming in the next 2 weeks.
Have a great night!
