Classwork

For Language Arts we worked on fluency after doing our morning activity.  Students participated in the readers' theatre thereby practicing fluency. It was great to see how they actively got involved in the lesson by having different expression as they read "The case of the three bears breakfast".

Ms Walls worked with the students by reading  the article on  "Unlocking the secrets of dolphin communication". Students then worked on 'word sort'- categorizing the new 'ten dollar words'.

For Math, we worked on area using base ten pieces. Students worked in groups of 3s as they traced a sweater onto the butcher paper. They then figured the area using base ten pieces. It took our Science period alongwith it as I wanted the students to figure how to come up with the area using a shorter method, to calculate the total area by adding all the hundreds, tens and ones, and labeling it correctly.
