Hi Everyone,
It was our first Monday of this year! It was a great day! Check out the highlights below!
Highlights of our Day:
- For our eye opener today we practiced place value. First we were given a variety of numbers with digits underlined and we had to identify the place value of the underlined digit. For example 2343, the 4 is in the tens place
- In literacy today we did word work. We reviewed the long and short "a" sound and did a worksheet where we were given a list of words with the long and short "a" sound. We did a variety of activities with these words, such as sorting, find the misspelled word, and a cross word. This is meant to help us with both our reading skills and spelling
- In music today we played a game called "Pass the Beat Around the Room". We also did a music listening sheet
- In PE today we did a 5 minute run and then we learned different ways to run.
- We continued our read aloud. Today we read chapter 7 of "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing".
- We had our first fire drill today, it may have been unexpected but everyone did well.
- In social studies we continued our work with mapping. Today we learned about the compass rose, which helps to tell us the direction on a map. We then created our own compass rose in our visual journal
