Language Arts
Today we went to computer lab and worked on Study Island. Study Island is a great learning and game site that is aligned to Indiana Academic Standards.
We came back to class and used short vowel words (spelling skill) in sentences and reviewed upper case letters and ending punctuation in Grammar.
We visited for the first time with our first grade reading buddies. We will be spending 20-30 minutes each week reading with first graders.
We re-read The Case of the Missing Lunch with partners and started to answer the questions at the end of the story. We answered questions whole group today and stressed that all answers must be in complete sentences, answer the question and provide details and examples.
We had Vocab Vine. Today we reviewed the root tele (far away) and learned the root phono (sound, voice)
We also went over the reading project for the first nine weeks. Look in your child's take home folder for the paperwork.
No homework today.
Math
Today we talked about parallel lines and different ways to categorize polygons. We also did math boxes and the study link.
If your child did not complete math boxes 1.3 and 1.4 and study link 1.4, they will need to finish it for homework.
Science (My class today) Today we talked about what scientist do. (observe, measure, classify, predict and experiment) We discussed that we are scientist because we do those things. We also looked at different scientific accomplishments in history.
No homework.
