, We celebrated International Dot Day which is tomorrow! Did you even know there was such a thing? It is based on the fabulous book, The Dot. We had a great time celebrating with our STEAM buddies. After watching the book read to them the students also sang the song with motions. Just check out the book and The Dot Song on You Tube. Our students were so sweet singing with their buddies. Then the pairs transformed their "dot". It was inspiring watching them work together and come up with so many different ideas. The dots became eyes on a dinosaur, centers of flowers, wheels on an airplane, an ice cream scoop, the bottom of a snowman, the cherry on a cherry tree, etc. We tried to let partners video and load to See Saw, but that proved to be a little challenging. There are a few posted. Your child can tell you if we made it to them or not. We hope to get together again and try again!
Questions to Ask: What are different ways to write a strong beginning to a narrative? What are some ways to be a good citizen? Why do groups in multiplication have to be equal? Remember: We are still testing on Monday and Tuesday. Monday is math and Tuesday is science/social studies. Parent Journals are in book bags. Please read and return by Wednesday. Next Week: Math - we will continue to explore multiplication, the different ways to represent it, and how it is used every day. Language Arts - students are developing one seed idea into a full narrative - adding dialogue, emotions, and details. We will use the book The Rain School to practice CLOSE reading - reading a book several times to draw different meanings each time. Social Studies - the need for government and the three branches of government will be introduced. STEAM - students will design and build a way to display a mineral for the Tellus Museum. We will post those results on See Saw so you can check them out! Have a great weekend and stay dry!
