Where does the
time go? Each week seems to go by so quickly!
In Math, we continued
learning about data and graphs. We shared our results with our classmates based
on our favorite things. We also took an assessment
where the students had to sort foods into categories and create a graph. They
did very well! We also reviewed telling time. We watched a Brain Pop Jr. video
and practiced writing in time to the half as well as quarter of and quarter
past. We also collected pocket data and learned how to make line plots. We
discussed the mode (the most popular) and what an outlier is.
In Science, we learned
about the 4 types of precipitation which are rain, snow, sleet, and hail. We
made a little booklet and watched a brief film about the types. We also learned
about 4 severe storms. They were blizzard, thunderstorm, hurricane, and
tornado. We mixed the storm ingredients in a big pot and made a weather wizard
cookbook. It was fun! We also read more about weather and answered questions
together. We also did a cool cloud watch each morning.
****A reminder that
the students weather reports and posters are due this Wednesday, March 20th.
In Writing, we
began planning a persuasive piece about the best season. We brainstormed things
we like to do in the different seasons. We started planning our writing for
which season we thought was the best. The students began their planning and we’ll
continue to work on it next week.
Thank you so much for
all of your snack contributions. We will have a very nice basket and whoever
wins it will be very happy!
I hope you all
have a great weekend!
Happy St. Patrick’s
Day!
