We have been very busy in Room 215!
Math- The students were asking why facts such as 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 are called squares. So we did a little investigation and built area models to find out why. Ask your children about what we discovered.
During math, the class used area models and manipulatives to learn multiplication facts. Students also practiced using known multiplication facts to solve unknown multiplication facts.
Reading-We finished the Global Read Aloud "A Boy Called Bat." The children loved it and are looking forward to reading another book in the series. Our current read aloud is "The World According to Humphrey." During reading, we continued to discuss a character's traits and feelings. We also examined how a character's actions contribute to the sequence of events. The children also learned about plot and how most stories have a problem, rising action, climax, falling action and resolution.
Writing- The students are wrapping up their personal narratives and I am conferencing with each of them before we share them as a class.
Social Studies- The class is currently working on a research project. Each child chose to learn more about the Wampanoag or Pilgrims and the topics they wanted to teach others about. Students are using videos, books and our Social Studies text as resources.
Tuesday was National Kindness Day and the students participated in an online challenge to learn about digital citizenship and safety.
