Reading & Writing:
This week during phonics we practiced spelling words with inflectional endings that have spelling changes. We also read a story in our magazines called “Primary Sources.” We used our close reading strategies to identify the main topic and key supporting details.
At writing time, we worked on writing narrative nonfiction letters. We used our planning pages to help organize our thoughts as we wrote our drafts.
Math: In math we have been busy learning all about measurement. We have learned about inches, feet, and yards. We have also learned about centimeters and meters. Measuring items around the classroom has been a fun way to practice our knowledge of measurement.
Science: We engineered devices to help save the sand dunes from erosion. Then we tested our designs against the elements. We observed how well our designs held up against gentle waves and strong waves. Then we tested them using a hairdryer to see how they would hold up against gentle and strong winds.
