We started off the day in the Gym with Mr. Costa.
When we returned to class we read the morning message which had scrambled sentences. We arranged the words in the correct order then read the message together. After that we went to our desks, graphed the High/Low temp. and added a snowy day to our weather bar graph.
Journal: If someone gave you $1000 and told you you had to give it away to 3 people or charities, who would you give it to, how much would you give them and why?
After recess, we did Math activities. One group worked on money, one group did a review of perimeter and area, another reviewed 3d solids and one group started to take their own survery of the class and graph the results.
After lunch, we worked on adding the details on our community maps. We should be done in the next couple of periods. After our maps, we had a spelling test and then we recieved our new spelling words. This week we are taking a break from the spelling textbook and we are learning some words that will help us in our science unit on forces, movement and simple machines.
After recess, we looked at non-fiction texts. We talked about how you don't have to read it from cover to cover for it to make sense like you do with a story. We talked about the table of contents, the index, the glossary, and how pictures, diagram and captions help us understand what we are reading. We were each given a book on forces and movement, and had time to look at the book and when we returned to the carpet, everyone had to share something they had read or learned from the book.
