Math
Small Groups: 1. We did x-tra math. Go to Clever and log in with your student ID [email protected] . The password is the same password you use at school. X-tra math is on your teacher page. 2. We did i-ready for 15 minutes.. Go to Clever and log in with your student ID [email protected] . The password is the same password you use at school. 3. We reviewed what we've learned so far in math with A.M. work. Main Lesson Today we combined partitioning shapes and equivalent fractions. We did lesson 33 session 3 in the math book. To get to your math book online, go to Clever and log in with your student ID [email protected] . The password is the same password you use at school. Click on the little cube that says I-ready. This link has great instructions on how to use the bookshelf from home. Your homework is the last page of the lesson. ELA Phonics: Students got a new spelling packet today. We're working on compound words. Here's the new set of words. words cover Comprehension: We took a quiz where we needed to read two stories written by the same author about the same characters and compare and contrast them. Grammar and Writing: We practiced our grammar in morning work. We practiced building sentences. We worked phonological awareness. We learned how to write capital Z's. Fluency: We practiced our Reader's Theater scripts. Science This week we are celebrating Earth Day. We're investigating Social Studies Standard 1: Objectives: 2b: Identify important natural resources of world ecosystems. 2c. Describe how communities have modified the environment to accommodate their needs (e.g. logging, storing water, building transportation systems). 3a: Identify ways people use the physical environment (e.g. agriculture, recreation, energy, industry). 3b. Compare changes in the availability and use of natural resources over time. 3c. Describe ways to conserve and protect natural resources (e.g. reduce, reuse, recycle). 3d. Compare perspectives of various communities toward the natural environment. 3e. Make inferences about the positive and negative impacts of human-caused change to the physical environment. Today we talked about things we can do to help preserve our natural resources, including reducing the amount we use, reusing what we have, and recycling what we have to turn it into something else. There are people that say that children are too small to make a difference, but that's just not true, and you'll see how much of a difference you can make in this lesson! I used this slideshow with videos. We calculated that if a kid used 3 plastic water bottles a day for a month, they'd use 90 water bottles. By using a reusable one, they're really helping save a lot! If you think of our whole class using a reusable water bottle, that would save 3,150 water bottles in just one month! We also talked about using clothes that were used before, by someone else sometimes instead of always buying new, which saves water, bees, fish, birds. . . because of the pesticides. We discussed only washing our clothes when they're dirty, instead of washing them just after trying them on for a minute or something. There are some things we always wash of course, like our underwear! :) We'll discuss other ways of Reducing, reusing, and recycling tomorrow, as well as ways that communities have done this!
