Today in room 16:

    We started our morning with a review of place value. Students had to fill in a chart that had them writing numbers in expanded, written and standard form. We continued our exploration of place value by learning about decimal place value. Watch the math antics video here for more info!

    After snack while watching CNN10, recess in the field, we had 30 minutes of reading. During reading times I am testing students on their decoding and comprehension. 

    In LA we started to learn about poetry! Today we focused on what poetry actually is and the key terms. This was a good review of the literary devices we covered last week.

These terms are:

Alliteration

Onomatopoeia

Rhythm

Rhyme scheme

Sound

Repetition

 and more to come!

We then moved into social and started to explore decision making

Questions such as:

Why do we have rules?

Why do we have societal rules?

Why do we have a government?

...were the main focus of the day today.

The students had gym with Ms. Sterne outside today before heading in for lunch. After recess and mindfulness we moved into science. 

Science today had us exploring deciduous trees! We looked in detail at what makes a deciduous tree deciduous. We finished the last chunk of our morning by watching a small chunk of the forests episode of one planet. 

Have a great evening everyone!
