I just have to say thank you for all of the Valentines yesterday. I was not expecting so much and when the students kept pouring their gifts into my arms, I couldn't help but think how fortunate I am to have such a loving class and incredible parents who support them. So THANK YOU! We had a great time passing out Valentines to each other and the kiddos were beyond excited to see each other's Valentine boxes. Here are a couple photos I snapped real quick while the students had a blast! Math: This week we started area! It was a very basic introduction to area, but I have to say how impressed I am with them grasping how to find the area. We will continue to work through finding the area of different shapes for the next few weeks.
Social Studies: We finished our PYP study of How We Express Ourselves. Students made their own island to show what they learned about maps and the important aspects maps have. They also finished mapping their route from home to school. Thank you for all your help that went into helping them! They look AWESOME! :) We will be moving into regions and Native Americans soon. Writing: We practiced writing an opinion piece as a class after reading the book Hey, Little Ant! The book leaves it up to the reader's choice as to whether the ant should be saved or smashed. We decided as a class to write our opinion on the any being saved. This week students will write their own opinion piece on a topic of their choice. I can't wait to see what is produced! Literacy: Our focus this week was on Point of View. We looked through a variety of books and determined what the point of view was of each of the books. Students learned that if a book is told by a character it is in first person and if it told by the narrator or author it is third person. At home you can be asking your child while they read their books at home if their book is written in first or third person. We also made predictions about our read aloud book, Shiloh. The students have been very involved and connected to the story! We will continue to use the program PracTutor to work on our testing skills to get prepared for our upcoming testing in the Spring! Keep practicing those math facts!! Enjoy your long weekend!
