Thanks so much for meeting with me for conferences. It was so great to see everyone! Here is what we did this week:
Reading - We created our own word search and practiced our spelling words in reading groups this week. We continued to work on reading out loud in a clear voice, making sure to stop at periods.
Writing - We wrote a journal entry and did another writing activity called would you rather. We came up with this question: Would you rather go on a mountain adventure or and under the sea adventure. We then wrote our own walking story about which one we would choose and why. Ask me which one I wrote about.
Math - We talked about making 10's and learned a fun adding and subtracting game called, Balloon Pop. We also worked on our very own google slide about 2-D shapes. We did a slide for each of these shapes; circle, triangle, square and rectangle. For each shape we wrote the name of the shape, how many sides, how many corners and put 3 pictures of objects in the real world onto the slide.
Science - We did a few magnet experiments this week. We learned what a magnetic field looks like and we learned the most objects are transparent to magnetic fields. We learned that opposites attract and like repel.
Social Studies - We took a google earth tour of Iqaluit, Nunavut. We learned that:
1. the land their is rocky
2. covered in permafrost
3. Iqaluit is located on Frobisher Bay
4. They have the Arctic Ocean there
5. There is a river called the Sylvia Grinnell River
Have a great weekend!
