April 5

What a great day!  During our small group reading instruction we have been talking about contractions.  Any reinforcement with this concept at home would be greatly appreciated.  

During Writer's Workshop we are looking at Fairy Tales.  We listened to the story The True Story of the Three Little Pigs.  We talked about how this story is written from the wolves perspective.  Our job was then to write a story similiar to the three little pigs but using different characters.  This was so fun.  Everyone loved this challenge.

Today we did making words and talked about the following word families: ear, ears, each.

After lunch we looked at the word problem we started yesterday.  We talked about the number of faces on the following 3d objects: cube, cylinder, cone, sphere and pyramid.

In gym we continued with our gymnastics program.

At the end of the day we got together with our grade 3/4 buddies.  We are starting an inquiry project on bees.  We watched a video and began a very rich discussion about being helpful and how to bring back the bees.  Please watch this quick video.  Post your thoughts in the comments on this blog.  


Have a wonderful evening.
