This week in social studies we are making a map of our classroom. All the boys are in one group and the girls are in another. We measured all the parts of the classroom. The maps are going to have a map scale and a map key and a grid with an index. We're almost done and adding color to the maps.
One morning this week, each group got a thesaurus and looked up an emotion word. We made lists of synonyms on the white board. Then we wrote poetry about a certain feeling. We came up with really long lists!
Sometimes on Friday mornings, we put on music and dance to it. Today was rock and roll Friday, and lots of the kids were dancing. (The teachers were, too!) It was a lot of fun to watch. Last Friday was disco Friday (and our fall party).
Unit 4 in math is about decimals. Today, we made designs on hundreds-grids and then counted what decimal of the whole our design covered.
In reading, some of us are doing retelling plays. We retell a story from a book in a short form and we act it out.
We finished reading the book Bud, Not Buddy. It was our read-aloud book. Everyone loved it. Some of our favorite parts were the funny events in the book, the strangers who were so kind to Bud, and the way Miss O'Reilly read it in an accent.
This week was very exciting! We learned a lot. Who knows what next week will bring?
