In math, we learned:
- how to model repeated addition to write number sentences
- how to make an array to think about repeated addition (shown below)
- An array involves joining equal groups
- to use repeated addition to solve story problems
We started a new writing project this week. Earlier in the year we wrote personal narratives. We are now learning about nonfiction narratives, or biographies. We are focusing our biography study on heroes (someone who is brave and overcomes a challenge.) For our class project, we are researching Amelia Earhart using books and internet resources. More to come!
We discovered that we can read our weekly Scholastic News on the iPad! We LOVED watching the videos and learning about nocturnal animals.
TREES!
We are done studying trees! Together, we created a book about deciduous and coniferous trees and their characteristics. Our illustrations were AWESOME!
Eleni loves learning about trees, too!
Mrs. Weldon and Ms. Marcus joined us for two afternoons to help us create our own tree identification books based on what we learned about oak, maple, and pine trees. See an example page below. Students can now identify these common trees in Burlington when in their backyards and parks.
We did a scavenger hunt to check our everyone's family trees! We learned a lot about each other and admired the hard work put into each and every project!!
To study for our test on Wednesday... Tree BINGO! WOW... did we learn a lot! And we had some fun too!
To finish off the week, we talked a lot about Veterans.. and how they are heroes! We completed a Scholastic News and learned about the many jobs of Veterans, such as firefighters, medics, and divers. We also made a list of words that tell us what Veterans can do, what they have, and what they are. Pretty amazing descriptions!
Show and Shares from Grace and Faith!
Have a fun super long weekend and see you Wednesday!
