We looked at how books are categorized into fiction and non-fiction, We know that fiction books tell us a story, while non-fiction books teach us facts. We sorted books from our book boxes into fiction and non-fiction.
We added our last rotation to Daily 5- Listen to Reading. We have enjoyed reading fiction and non-fiction texts during this time. This is a good time for us to practice our listening skills and to listen to good models of fluent reading.
We discussed how to get ideas for our writing. We know the best ideas are seed stories- not writing about a watermelon topic. An example would be writing about getting sick on a roller coaster, not writing about a whole day at Worlds of Fun. These small moments allow us to focus our writing and write with better details.
In Math we celebrated what we know about subtraction and began a new unit focusing on five and ten. We focused on the ways to make ten and describe numbers as they relate to ten.
In Science, we explored light. We know that light is energy that travels in rays. We did an experiment to determine what type of materials light can shine through and learned the terms transparent, translucent, and opaque. We also used reflection to change the direction of a ray of light.
I hope that you got information for how to join our KidBlog group. It came home in Thursday folders. We look forward to using this tool throughout the school year and would love to have you join us and comment!
