Our Short Week

What's New in Room 3:

Landform Posters

Our class made little posters that told about a kind of landform. Some of the landforms we learned about were delta, canyon, archipelago, and peninsula. We found the information by researching in atlases and on the computer. Each poster contains a picture of the landform, a good definition and tells two places where that kind of landform can be found. Landform posters look great on our wall!

Decimals

Today was our Unit 4 test on decimals. Before the test, we did some decimal riddles and we measured different Thanksgiving objects. For example, we had a paper turkey, string beans, a bag of nuts, some dried corn and a can of cranberry sauce to measure. We measured each object in centimeters, millimeters, decimeters and meters. It was a good way to review for our test.

Sequencing

In reading, we are focusing on sequencing important details from a text. We read some chapters from two books and we organized the important events in a planner. Then we answered questions about the chapters. The two books we used were Stone Fox and The Egypt Game.

Narrative Writing

In writing, we are learning how to write personal narratives. Personal narratives are stories that really happened to us. We started out with organizers. To learn about setting the stage and writing thoughtful endings, we looked at examples from picture books and told how they started and ended.

This was a fun, short week! Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
