Hi Everyone,
We had a fun-filled week with our Granary Road field trip, Terry Fox Run, and Fun Lunch. Here are some of the things we talked about in class:
Reading - We practiced retelling a story and practiced our 5 finger retell. The five finger retell includes:
1. Setting - When & Where?
2. Characters - Who?
3. Problem - What went wrong?
4. Events - Beginning, Middle, End
5. Solution - How was the problem solved?
Writing - We looked at what makes a sentence complete. We know that every sentence needs all four of these:
1. Uppercase to start.
2. Proper punctuation to end it.
3. Noun - person, place, or thing
4. Verb - action
Math - We practiced completing our first word problem. We now know that when we solve a word problem we need to have:
1. A picture to show our work.
2. Another picture or way to double check our work.
3. A number sentence.
4. A word sentence.
Science - We learned a lot at Granary Road about the ant, bee, spider, and bat. In class we sorted, compared and contrasted 12 small crawling and flying animals into 3 groups - crawling, flying, and slithering.
Social Studies - We continued learning about mapping and how to read and answer questions about a map that is shown.
Have a great weekend everyone!
