Wednesday February 17 Update

Hello everybody! My name is Jay. I am from Ms. D’s class and I will talk about what we did today.

Unit Work:  First, in the morning Ms. D gave us a handout that told us how to be an explorer. Inside the packet were some activities to do to become more aware, to become better observers, and to lead to new discoveries. The first activity was to list ten things which you didn’t notice before you sat down. The second was to make a survey of five questions and ask everyone in the class these questions (questions should not have a yes or a no answer.) We recorded these in a new Exploration Booklet and will keep doing exercises each day.

LA: Then we read Lemoncello again and did READING POWER visualizing. We had to think of a picture in the story and write descriptive words about it. We found out today that Lemoncello has a book #2 that just arrived at the library!

Math: What we did in math was reviewing what we did in this unit. There will be a QUIZ ON THE UNIT next week on Wednesday. Homework is to study for the quiz. The main part on math was measuring circles and getting the area, circumference,  diameter and radius. (These will all be on the quiz.) We also looked at some architectural renderings and scale models Ms. D brought in as an introduction to our own project of creating a scale plan and model of a building.

Puppet Pals: After lunch we had Puppet Pals and Game work time. For puppet pals practice your script at home so you can record it tomorrow. The due date for it is Thursday EOD. Homework is to bring game pieces and other materials for your game or work on it a bit at home. The game is due EOD Monday. More time will be given tomorrow.

PE:  During P.E. today we partnered up to make a lesson together about a cardiovascular sport or activity such as soccer, basket ball, martial arts, etc. Homework is to make the topic you are doing if you haven’t yet.

The Caribou test is TOMORROW so if you haven’t practiced yet start practicing here.

Have a great night!
