We had a very energetic Friday before spring break!
We started by skip-counting to make a picture.
We also worked with area and perimeter. We sang our song and revisited what we had added to our math notebook. We built things using centimeter cubes. We also discussed how area is squared, but perimeter isn't. We did some practice shapes and they had to bring me their paper every time they finished one, so that I could check it. That way I was able to see if they were having any trouble.
We also worked with author's purpose. We work on this all year but not as a specific lesson. We discuss why an author wrote a book or passage. We discussed the three reasons why a piece is written. Authors write to persuade, inform, or entertain.
We took our spelling tests today.
We read nonfiction passages about P.T. Barnum and NASA. Both were very interesting.
I gave them another book, Interrupting Chicken. That one is theirs to keep. Some borrowed Mr. Popper's Penguins to read over spring break.
Behavior notes came home. I suggested they show them to you and immediately put them back into their backpacks so they didn't lose them!
Have a great spring break!
