Here’s a quick overview of new things we learned this week:
Comprehension strategy/skill: “Reread” and “Details: Time Order”. We read several different texts to go along with our theme: “Our Natural Resources”
High Frequency Words (Power Words): where, look
Sound and spelling review: a, e, i, o and introduced long /o/.
Vocabulary: natural resources, create, weave, designs, knowledge
Math: Lesson 24: “Build with Shapes”
Science: This week we have been making observations about how sunshine heats things up! And we’ve noticed that things stay cooler if they are in the shade! In an activity called Cool Cows, children noticed that cows (like people) use shade to stay cool. The children became junior engineers, thinking about how to invent a shade structure to keep cows cool in a field with no shade trees.
