Classwork

In Language arts. Students did their morning activity and then worked on their centers. As a whole group we discussed the singular and plural nouns.

For their writing we reviewed alphabetical order. Most of the students did not get the alphabetical order which was in their Tic Tac Toe activity. Mainly because most of them began with the same consonant blends. We went over the whole thing all over again. Students came up with their own ideas how to delete the common ones in each of them and to look for the next first letter.

In Math they worked on Boo the Blob. They learned about median and worked in groups to find out the area of each of the other shapes of Boo. It was interesting to know that each group had more or less similar areas for the different shapes of Boo.They learned that even though the shapes are different they can have the same area.

S.studies- We reviewed the vocabulary. Students will work on the learning logs to complete the definitions and draw a picture related to each of them
