Monday: We started off our day by learning about the use of quotation marks when writing dialogue. During Math, we worked on the Chapter 5 assessment. In the afternoon, we worked to compare the setting, plot and theme of 2 fables written by Aesop. The Because of Winn Dixie literature circle met and had a fantastic discussion. Book Buddies came for partner reading at the end of the day.
Wednesday: We made cards for Ms. Shroyer this morning because it’s National Social Worker Appreciation Week. During Math time , we worked with quadrilaterals and tangrams. In the afternoon, we practiced some I-Read type word work items, finding words with the same beginning, middle or ending sound as a particular word. We also located synonyms and antonyms for different words. Then we compared two texts about how beavers live through winter. The Dolphin Adventure group met and had a super discussion.
