Today we read the morning message and focused on puncuation and replacing missing words in the message.
We moved quickly into doing our Math activities and did two different activities today. Tomorrow we will complete any Math activities that are not done.
After recess we did a dance activity. We reviewed the terms we learned last week and this week, we divided into 6 groups and we created a series of movements to the count of eight. Each student created 2 or 3 movements and taught the other members of the group. Then groups performed their 8 count series 3 times. Some groups did a great job, others were more shy in doing this activity.
After recess we went to Mr. Brutto to do DPA. When we returned we had 15 min. before Emmanuel arrived for Roots of Empathy, so we did independent ready. Today Emmanuel discussed teething and we reflected upon how we feel when we are missing teeth. We talked about how different people can feel differently about the same situation.
After recess we did a science activity. We talked about forces being a push or a pull, and we also learned about the force of friction. Friction is where two surfaces touch. We talked that there are times we want friction and times when we don't want friction. We completed a worksheet that had different images and the students had to tell whether the force in the picture was a push or pull and describe where there was friction.
