Welcome to the last day of April… let's hope these April Showers bring May Flowers!
Today began with a short exercise in Spelling the students continued their work on their spelling list words by counting syllables and reflecting on words that contain ~ing.
During Mathematics the students completed their "Linear Measurement, Area, and Perimeter" Quiz. The students thoughtful completed each question and reflected on prior knowledge we have gained over the course of the unit. The children seemed well prepared and confident when answering their questions. They were inquistive and balanced when calmly completing each question!
Following Math we gathered together with Grades One, Three, and Four to practice our presentation at DYFA. I was extremely pleased with their efforts in memorizing their "Kite Poem" and songs. After practice, we returned to the classroom to complete our Grammar exercise for the day. The focus of grammar for today was ~are~ for the /air/ sound. The students practiced principled thinking when completing their tasks and completed the assignment with ease.
This afternoon in Writer's Workshop we continued our skill development and learning goal of paragraph writing. The students wrote their first copy of "Space Day" an 8-10 sentence creative paragraph about life on the moon. The collaboration and open-mindedness that was expressed in this lesson was fantastic!
The final two periods of the day were devoted to Printing & Computers.
