Reading: In reading, we read the story, “Stone Soup”. We practiced identifying the key events of the beginning, middle, and end of the folktale. We also worked on naming the lesson that was learned, and examining the different points of view of the characters. In addition, we reviewed character traits while reading Little Bear and the Golds. In phonics we studied words with r-controlled vowels that make the sound “ear”, including eer, ear, and ere.
Writing: In writing, we planned for our fictional diary entry. Students are writing their diary entries from the point of view of a villager in the story “Stone Soup”. We recorded the words, actions, thoughts, and feelings of the villagers during the beginning, middle, and end of the folktale in a graphic organizer. Next, we wrote our drafts of our diary entries.
Math: We wrapped up our unit on telling time this week by continuing to practice telling time to the nearest five minutes, as well as knowing the difference between A.M. and P.M. Then, we reviewed all of Unit 2 and took our end of unit test.
Social Studies/Science: This week we learned about seed dispersal. Students found out that seeds can travel by wind, water, and animals. We made models of different types of seeds to see how well their design helps them disperse.
