Coming Up Week of October 17-21Writing: This week we will focus on writing poems using sensory images, emotion, and rhythm. We'll also continue to read poetry to notice author's craft. Reading: More poetry! We'll learn about different types of poetry including narrative, lyrical, free verse, and sonnets. As we read, students will visualize and make inferences to increase their comprehension. Also, we'll learn about theme, author's message, main idea, and details that support the main idea. Math: We'll continue to learn strategies for multiplication. Our focus will still be on the fives, tens, twos, fours, and eights facts. We have already noticed lots of patterns as we have observed equal groups, arrays, and tables with fives, tens, and twos facts. Highlights from October 10-14Creating Equal Groups to Multiply Investigating Mixtures We observed various mixtures and used appropriate tools to separate mixtures. Using an Interactive Lesson with Nearpod to Multiply Students worked with arrays during an interactive lesson using Nearpod. They had multiple opportunities to find the product of various arrays by drawing with the Chromebooks. Students submitted their answers which displayed on the projector screen. I was even able to push out student examples to the Chromebooks as we worked so that we could observe different strategies. Meeting with Our Kinder Buddies! We met with our buddies for a science investigation about matter. Miss. Ostrominski put a bar of soap in the microwave. While it was being heated, we observed the soap changing in a surprising way! Then we helped out buddies write a reflection in their science notebook. More Ozobot Fun!!!
During enrichment time, we used the Ozobots again to gain experience with coding and programming. Students had a challenge to complete-they had to complete the correct codes on a path to get their robot from home to the shop without getting stuck in the river. It looked really easy, but we quickly figured out you had to carefully think about the codes and the placement of them on the path. Everyone worked really hard, and lots of the kiddos successfully completed the challenge.
