We started off with Gym today.
We then did our temp. graphs, read the morning message and then we did a math problem as a class.
After recess we had an assembly. Today the assembly introduced the school to the character traits of respect and responsibility. Over the next couple of months we will practice being more respectful and responsible and at the next assembly we will give certificates to students that best exemplify these traits. In our class we started a chart that allows students to put sticky notes with messages about other students in the class that did something respectful or responsible.
After lunch we had independent reading. Before beginning our literacy activities, we talked about answering questions. We looked at where we find answers in a text. Are they on the line, between the lines, or beyond the lines?
On the line: the answer can be taken word for word from what they are reading.
Between the line: the answer is found from clues in the text or words
Beyond the line: the answer is NOT in the text but comes from your own ideas and experiences
We also talked about answering in full sentences. We will continue to practice these strategies.
Last period we watched a video on soil. We learned how soil is made, where it is found and what are the components of soil. We also saw what things live in soil and why they are important to us.
