Week of December 10

We got a new math menu and we have untill 12/21/12.

We get a new math menu every 2 weeks. A math menu is a bunch of math choices that we can chose from.But we have to do some choices before the others.We have 8 choices this week on our math menu. Our favorite is the game "Guess my number". It is a fun way to practice your facts and using math vocabulary to ask good questions.

This is at sharing and Jacob shared pictures of Lego things he bulit and a book he likes, for his me bag.

We're reading the book The mysterys of Harris Budick. To listen to sentence fluency.So we can see a example of how we can write interesting sentences to tell a story.

We started a new unit in Science about properties of matter. The three types of matter are solids, liquids and gas. Mrs. Randall says there is a fourth type. Do you know what it is?

Some people started ther own riddles.In our Vermont unit.

We had crazy hair day on Tuesday.These are some of the crazy hair styles.

We had 6 questions and 6 groups. Each group answered one of the six questions. We now know that a meter is longer than a yard. Do you how much longer?

This is one of the groups presenting their math answer.

Some people got to play a game called Inference during reader's workshop.

We finished The book Circuit. It ended on a clif hanger! Mrs. Randall showed us the next book in his memoir titled Breaking Through.

Everyday except Tuesday we have P.O.D which means problem of the day. We are now using our notebooks as resources to find the most efficient and effective strategy to use.

We sang Rudolph the red nosed reindeer in music.

At music we sang Hanukah time.

We played division bingo in math for about 15 min. on Wednesday.

At music Bella played a song on the piano and she is very good at it.

We were given the challenge of measuring the length of our classroom. Mrs. Randall will show us the actual blueprints on Monday.

We started a new book called "Shadow" in read aloud. The book is by Michael Morpurgo. It is historical fiction.

On Thursday Milina brought in ooblick for science.Also on Thursday we were supposed to Skype but the other people were having Internet problems so we could not Skype.So we just studied for our Vermont test and working on our riddles. We will play Where in VT are you? On Monday.

This is our new weekly reader.We get these every week but this one is longer than most of them so we have two weeks to finish and talk about it.

 

Have a happy holiday (one week until break)
