Hi Families,

Today we stayed inside because it was raining. We did arrays and talked about rows and columns. We worked on finishing up our biography projects. Our biographies are due by tomorrow. We read an article about the leaves. The oxygen that we breath is made by plants, and they take in the carbon dioxide we breath. The green part (chlorophyll) sucks in the sunlight to make their own food. We also worked on updated our KWL chart on plants now that we have started to learn all about them.

Hi Families,

We did more stuff about plants. We learned they need sunlight, water, soil. We also did a paper on the differences between what they need and what they have. We did the one minute greeting. In math, we repeated addition which will help with multiplication next year. We did a book on subject and predicate. Subject is who or what is doing the action. Predicate is the action being done by the subject. Check out our books subject-predicate we are bringing home!

Hi Families,

We did minus in math. Then we checked them with plus again. All the numbers are a family. On Friday we will have a math test. Next week will start working on arrays which will teach us able multiplication and divison. We started learning about plants. We did a plants graphic graphic organizer and what they have, need, can, and are. We made plant folders to hold our stuff in. We kept working on our phonics sentences which are on plural irregular nouns, for example you have one foot but two feet. We had double special: music and library. In music, we sang and watched a movie. In library, we got books and read from black bins.

Hi Families,

Today, in math we learned how to check subtraction problems by adding. The numbers are all part of a family. With a number family you can make four equations -- two addition and two subtraction. We started researching biographies about famous people. I am learning about Pablo Picaso. He was a famous artist. In grammar, we learned about subject (who does the action) and predicate (the action being done). We learned about irregular plural nouns that do not follow patterns. We had art for specials. We learned about cool colors and warm colors.

Hi Families,

In math, we had to do take-away. Then to check our answer, we had to do plus. We had to take the answer and the other part to make the whole. We also started talking about plants. We made a KWL chart on plants. The K stands for know, the W stands for what I want to know, and at the end we will fill in the L for learned. We talked about sentences today too. We started with simple, basic sentences. We got a card to add details. We had to add who, what, where, when, why and how. We had to add more and more details to the sentence. We had indoor recess and watched Magic School Bus. We went to gym and played a bowling game.

Hi families,

Today we learned more about plural nouns. If there is a consonant before the y you take away the y and add -ies. For lunch we ate meatballs with bread and salad. We did a math test. It was medium difficulty. We did some narrative fictional writing about getting stuck in the school because of a big snow storm. It was fiction because we made it up. We went to library for specials and got books. We also had music this morning. We had outdoor recess. That's all I remember about today. Have a good night!

Dear families,

Today we did math. We did the vertical way with addition. We did pirate math, too. We are learning about plural nouns. The rule is if a word ends in a consanant + y, you drop the y and -ies. The other rule we learned is if a noun ends in f or fe, you drop f/fe and add -ves. We practiced hard with it. We went to art because yesterday we had no school so we skipped gym because of no school on Monday. In writing, we read a biography and found important information about our famous person. 

Have a good day!
