Today we started off our day in the Library with Mr. Brutto.
When we returned we completed the morning message, our temperature graphs and started a new round of Math activites. One group worked at building 3D structures and looking at how the shapes of faces are different on pyramids and prisms. Then sketched the models in their books. Another group worked on linear measurement. They had to estimate and measure several objects and record their answers in a table. The remaining two groups worked on multiplication activities. One group used bingo dabbers and dice to show multiplication and addition sentences on paper, and one group completed math sheet that reviewed repeated addition and how to use skip counting to multiply.
After lunch we did some cursive writing. We did the letters B and F. These letters were a bit more challenging. Some students are frustrated because their letters aren't perfect. We are just beginning so with practice things will get easier. For some, it is easier than printing.
We then looked at our next form of writing which is explanatory writing. It is writing that explains how something is made, how to do something or how to get somewhere. It can be step by step or in paragraph form. We will be doing a paragraph form to start. Today we wrote how we get from outside the school to the class entrance in the morning.
Ms. Jean was here and she read from Matilda. After recess, we practiced answering comprehension questions in full sentences and adding supporting details. We answered questions from Matilda.
