Today:
-we used a number line to find the difference between 2 numbers.
-we talked about visualization. When we are listening to a story without pictures, we can make pictures in our heads if the story is descriptive. Ms. Keir read us 2 paragraphs about apples. One was very descriptive. There were triple scoop words and similes in it. The apple was described using the 5 senses. We drew a picture of an apple and made a web with all of the senses. We had to come up with words and phrases for each of the senses. Next week, we will write a descriptive paragraph about an apple.
-Ms. Keir took us to gym. We had to work as a team to build a structure from hula hoops. Ask me what I did.
-we had "talk time"
-we wid silent reading.
-we watched a video about sinking and floating. We did an experiment about sinking and floating. We had to make predictions about whether 10 objects would sink or float. Then we tested them.
-we read some of the BFG.
-our wonder was about coral reefs. Ask me whether coral is an animal, plant or a rock. We learned why coral reefs are so important in our world.
