In reading we read Gus Grows a Plant. This was an easy read to introduce main idea and supporting details. We then worked with partners to complete a graphic organizer. We also used popplet to create a graphic organizer using an ipad and SMART board.
We also read Rosie Sprout's Time to Shine to review main idea. It also was a great book to go along with our Great Expectations which we discuss every morning!
In math we studied 2D & 3D shapes as well as shape patterns. We started out the week identifying the attributes of 2D & 3D shapes. Then we had to create our own shapes using the attributes. For 2D shapes, we created shape monsters and then wrote about our shape monsters. The students loved this assignment, espcially naming their shape monsters!
We started out the week learning about the parts of plants and then we moved into the plant life cycle. We concluded the week by planting lima beans in baggies so we could observe the life cycle of the lima bean. Follow our blog for our lima bean updates!
We also experimented with an EdCamp type learning day on Friday. It was a blast & deserves a blog of its own. Look for that blog early next week!!!
Next week we continue our main idea study with Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. We will also study weather and number patterns. Have a great week!
