We had an extremely busy day today.
We worked more with an author's purpose for writing today. They seemed to understand pretty well. We also got to read a poem. It was about Paul Revere's Ride, so when we discussed why it was written, it was a bit tricky. It did give some information, but we decided in the end, it was written for entertainment.
We are still working with place value and writing numbers in different forms. We did a review page over what we have been learning today.
In science we talked about measuring. But since we were measuring snakes on a page (Never any real snakes in my room!) we had to find a way to measure them, since a ruler wouldn't work. There was only one that was straight. We used a piece of string to follow the body of a snake, then measured the length we used to cover the snake.
We also worked with adding -s or -es to verbs. I made two columns of words. One had to have only the letter s added while the other needed the letters es added. We looked at the list to try to figure out the rule before reading it. They were pretty good at discovering what the words in each column had in common.
I have some of tomorrow's supplies. Thank you to everyone who sent items today!
