Week of 1-8-13

Tuesday

Without school on Monday, we started this week on Tuesday. We had an early break because of CALM.

Next we had CALM(connecting art library music) and we split into 3 groups to go to music, art, library. In music we learned about the National Anthem and also how to sing it.

In library we watched a video.

Kellie Clarkson
President Obama

In art we looked at portraits, but some are illegal to put on the blog because the artist might still be alive.

We had a short readers-writers workshop because of CALM.

We then had library,read aloud, recess, lunch, and finally social studies. We did a mystery Skype questions work sheet then worked in our Under The Golden Dome booklet.



Wednesday
We gave a surprise to mrs. Randall. Cards for her birthday.

We worked on our p.o.d. using an efficient and accurate strategy. Many of us are finishing quickly and are support crew for others.

We used geo boards to help us find the area of different polygons.

In music we started recorders.
We worked on predicting to help us understand the text better.
We worked in Under The Golden Dome. In it we are learning about the state house. We also learned about the girl on top the dome.

Thursday

We leaned of a new program called glogsteredu.com. We will be creating glogs to inform others about our state.

Then we did a Skype to New Jersey. They asked us questions and we asked them questions so we could locate each other's state. We asked them about the effects of the flooding and they said that there was a lot of flooding, but no ones home was destroyed in their class. They were out of school for 9 days.

Sam D and Bella were answering questions and Abe was asking the questions.

 

We had Elf after lunch. We learned about birds. Specifically migration.

Friday

We did our p.o.d. Many us thought it was easy. We used the strategy, use or look for a pattern.

In the Weekly Reader, we read some interesting articles. We discussed making claims and evidence with one of the articles and completed a sheet called, What's the evidence?.

We had an interesting time with our K-buddies. We did two dances and read a books to them. Then our class treeted them to delicious hot chocolate.
