Today we started the day off by doing our temperature graphs and for something different we copied and edited the morning message. The message had spelling errors, missing puncutation and letters in the incorrect case. After completing that we did our Math activities. The students are doing a great job with estimating and measuring the perimeter of shapes and recording them in a chart. The others made 3D cubes, reviewed addition and subtraction ( more practice is needed on +/- beyond 10). The other groups made tally charts and graphs.
After recess we learned about the elements of dance and movement. We talked about how the body moves. We also looked and the timing of movement, how we move in a space, the energy used in a movement, and how we move in relation to others. We brainstormed different types of dance we do, or know about. We then practiced combining different elements to create movements. e.g.) use your body to reach, slowy, moving sideways, face to face with a partner. The class seems to really enjoy the kinesthetic activities.
After recess we did DPA with Mr. Brutto, and when returned we read more from Matilda. We now learn about her special powers. Yesterday, ( sorry forgot to post) we wrote what we would do if we had the same special powers as Matilda. With the remaining time, we completed our Social Studies activity, by describing the elements in our illustrations of residential, commercial, recreational, and industrial areas.
Last period, we did our Literacy activities. Two groups worked on completing their "Verb Books" and completing their reading assignment, one group did Penmenship, and one group read a nonfiction text on Rabbits.
HOMEWORK: Read. Reading Response (another one about what they read tonight)
