This morning, after Discovery Groups, we finished up the Caught Ya and reviewed Wordly Wise words.  It was a fun game Mrs. Haneke led.  The children had a type of bingo card filled with Wordly Wise clues/questions.  Each student had to walk around the room, find a friend to ask a question from the bingo card, and have the friend answer the clue for you.  

Mrs. Haneke also reviewed Verbs with the students. You can do the same by playing Verb Viper or by watching a fun video about verbs...it's a catchy song!

 

After we visited with Mr. Shane, we completed a math lesson.We reviewed the meaning of the word "polygon"...see below:

You can even click the picture above to explore polygons by drawing them...or even taking a polygon quiz.

Afterward, try the polygon sorting activity below.

So, do you think you can name a few polygons?  Try this quiz.

Pages 138 and 139 were completed in the math journal.  You may need to use your Student Reference Book for help.

This afternoon we will have rotation.  Seatwork will include:

*Complete a second set of questions from the Gutman book you've read.

*Turn in the first set of questions from the Gutman book.

*Finish your glog

*Continue writing/editing your story (either the animal with super powers or the accident that happens at home- tub-boo-boo)

Since many students are not responding to their Gutman questions in complete sentences OR are not including enough detail in their answers, I presented a lesson on what kind of response I would really like to see:

In small groups, we read from our Explorer Booklet and took notes.  I will send home your booklet and mark the pages you should read.  You can put the appropriate notes on your web when you return to school.  I'll share with you what we write.

I'm sending home a copy of some projects you are close to finishing, too.  Work on what you can, but please make sure you get lots of rest.  We miss you!
