In spelling and grammar, students studied the "-oi-, -oy" pattern and prepositions. Students did a word hunt and played Planet Hop to study their spelling words. To learn prepositions, students created clues to describe the location of Rocky Raccoon.
For Writer's Workshop, students wrote responses to From Caterpillar to Butterfly. Students also created their own invented words inspired by the book Frindle!
In math, students continued to study the relationship between tens and ones in the base-ten system. Students practiced representing two-digit numbers both in pictures and using number bonds.
This week we began a new science unit: Insects! We now have a container of mealworms in our class which students will observe over the next few weeks. Students wrote down their initial observations about the mealworms on a KWL chart, and also learned about the parts of an insect.
Gloria was our Can-Do Kid this week! Gloria loves macaroni and cheese, and her favorite subject is math. She also love the movie Frozen!
