Hi Families,
This week we got a new Smartboard for the classroom. For phonics, we -ight words and -igh words. An example is light in "Shut the light switch off, please." Then we got to go on the Chromebooks. We did Xtramath and Lexia Core 5. Then we did morning meeting. Eric was our person of the day. Then we went to music. We sang an Earth Day song. Then we went to snack in the cafeteria. I had cookies n' cream pop tarts and a blue koolaid. Then we were reading. After lunch, we did math. We did work problems about arrays. We got to our lesson on the new Smartboard. It was an outstanding, awesome day.

Hi Families,
First, did our phonics sentences this morning with -igh and -ight words. Then, we went to morning meeting. We did animal toss greeting. After that we did plant work. We had to glue the parts where they belong on our flap books. After that, we were reading to self. My group finished our book club. We were reading the second Magic Tree House book. We also kept working on our plant experiment. We are seeing if seeds will germinate without soil in plastic bags with damp paper towels. We planted them on Friday. They have roots now. We wrote down our observations in our lab report. After that we had indoor recess. We could draw or watch the Magic School Bus. Then after lunch and specials, we did math. We did arrays with columns and rows still. The definition of an array is items arranged into rows and columns. We did a lesson with teddy bears talking about rows and columns. At the end of the day we reviewed parts of a plant and read a non-fiction book on roots.
Have a good day!

Today, we continued to learn about plants. We discussed the parts of a plant (leaves, root, stems, and flowers) and their purposes. We had to draw arrays with certain amount of rows and columns. Then we had to draw either a horizontal or vertical line to show the rows or columns. We also learned about homophones. A homophone sounds alike but have different meanings and spelling. Too, to, and two are examples of homophones. We finished our biographies. We did a scholastic news about blue honey. It happened in France. The bees were drinking the M&M syrup instead of nectar from plants. We also went to a firefighter Phil assembly. He did magic tricks and taught us all about fire safety.

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.
