Our phonics lessons specifically focused on words with the oi and oy pattern (coin, boy)
Writing: This week students have been writing about which type of animal they think makes the best pet. They have written and introduction paragraph, a body paragraph complete with reasons and examples, and a conclusion paragraph. Next week we will revise, edit, and publish these pieces of writing.
Math: We finished up our place value lessons, and now we are using place value to compare three digit numbers. We are also learning how to continue 3-digit number patterns when counting by five, ten, or one hundred.
Social Studies: In Economics this week we have been learning via. Junior Achievement lessons. In these lessons we have been learning about communities and exploring jobs that make up a community. We have looked at many jobs and seen what education that role requires and what skills and interests you would need to have for it. We then learned about a production line through an activity making “pizza”. Students were placed into groups and had to complete pizza orders with their group members with accuracy. It was a hit and we learned how to work as a team efficiently.
