Language Arts~
Today we went to gym and then came back to the classroom and got really busy! We started out by doing a grammar worksheet. We corrected spelling, usage, capitalization and punctuation mistakes. We then went over the comprehension questions from the chapter 1 of Frindle. We read chapter 2 all about Mrs. Granger. We discussed at length the characters and what we could learn about them. We did a character cop activity for Nick, our hero. We reflected by writing about the chapter. We also did some vocabulary work and comprehension questions for chapter 2. In vocab vine we worked on a packet of root words.
Homework is anything that did not get done in class.
Math~
Ahhh division. The highlight of my math class for me was when a student exclaimed, "Hey, this is fun." Today we did division problems by using multiples of 10. You can see examples of our process by looking at today's study link 6.2. (It's tonight's homework)
Sciene (Woods)~
Today we continued to work on our biology unit. We observed our lima beans. We also took a closer look at our celery. We were able to identify the xylem and phloem tubes. We then took apart the celery and actually removed the tubes. Next we read about the different parts of a flower and briefly discussed how the different parts make seeds. We labeled the different parts on a worksheet and colored in the worksheet.
No homework today.
