January 27, 2020

It's great to be back in the classroom teaching.  We worked today getting back into routine and reviewing work expectations.  The students were excited to use the yoga mats for mindfulness time after lunch today!

Word Work: please see the list below for the words we are doing this week.

Writing: We are continuing to work on our plan for our story about a trip to India.  The plan includes the setting, characters, problem, events and solutions.  We will be exploring how to make the events interesting by looking at several story samples and plotting the events on a 'mountain climb' chart. 

Math:  We learned a game called Don't Break the Bank which gives the students practice adding tens and ones.  We will be continuing with multiplication the rest of the week.

Social: The students shared what they have learned so far about Ukraine and then they brainstormed for wonders they still have about Ukraine - we a have a lot of questions to find the answers to! We completed a chart after reading 2 stories that took place in Ukraine.
