In the gym, students had a great time completing the final gymnastics activity, Mission Impossible. It was set up as an exciting obstacle course with various challenges from the moment they walked in. Students climbed, tossed beanbags, and navigated various obstacles in many ways, building their confidence, coordination, strength, and movement skills. It was a fun and active way. To wrap up our gymnastics unit.
Learning Intentions:
I can write to convince others of my opinion.
I can explain why coral reefs need to be saved.
I can make connections between what I'm reading and myself.
I can use words and pictures to show my understanding of a story.
In Literacy, students continued to 'dive deep' into our book study of "The Brilliant Deep." They began by writing a persuasive piece about why it is important to protect coral reefs. Next, they made text-to-self connections by reflecting on their own experiences and sharing how they related to the story through writing and drawing. To wrap up, the students used a graphic organizer to share their main ideas and key takeaways from the book. With the arrival of the spring equinox, students also celebrated the changing season by listening to the story "Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring." After hearing the story, they created a spring acrostic poem.
On St. Patrick's Day, the one/two team was away at the area office learning more about the new Social Studies curriculum. While we were away, students enjoyed various fun, St. Patrick's Day-themed activities, including mini booklets with math, riddles, and creative "roll-a-story" writing. A highlight of the day was the Lucky Charms graphing activity. The students enjoyed using cereal to sort, count, and represent their data.
At Home Learning:
During the break, try to keep working on addition by using cards or games. We will be starting subtraction after the break. Also, reading a little every day helps to build decoding and vocabulary skills.
