It was a great week this week!
We have been focusing on the thinking strategy of Making Mental Images. We focused on the words in the text that helped us to make these mental images. We read lots of poetry by Valerie Worth and Georgia Heard. We drew our mental images. We discussed that mental images sometimes come to us as pictures and sometimes we can see movie screens in our heads.
We fixed and fancied up writing as we ended our unit on Small Moment stories. We picked one piece of writing and worked on revision and editing. We revised by adding details and edited by checking our spelling, captials and punctuation. On Friday, we celebrated by sharing our stories and having a treat.
In Math, we continued to work on subtraction problem solving strategies. The strategies that we have covered include: counting on/back, making a ten to subtract, and using addition to help us. We will begin a new unit on numbers to 120 on Monday!
We researched planets as part of our study of the Earth, moon, and stars. We researched planets on PebbleGo and chose how we wanted to share that information with our peers. Some of us made posters and some of us created stories on Little Bird Tales.
The character trait for the month of December is Kindness. We are taking a little time each morning to discuss how we can show kindness to others in our Meadow Lane family.
