Just a reminder, tomorrow we start school at 7:45 and end at 3:00!
Today in reading, we had a housekeeping day. We organized reading logs, filled in new calendars and learned about our next 5 day rotation about theme. I also handed out a study sheet for the story elements test that will be on Friday, April 15. Students should know what each element is and be able to apply it to a short story that they will need to read.
In writing today, we worked on reading picture books that had good word choice and determining what made them have good word choice (strong verbs, using the five senses, using similes and metaphors as well as showing and not telling).
Today in science, I had both classes. We looked at images of plant and animal cells on the LCD projector and labeled their parts. We also learned some cool facts about cells. Next, students filled in their own diagrams labeling the parts of an animal and a plant cell.
