In Reading, students
finalized preparations for their book talks. We used an iPad app called
“Explain Everything” to prepare for the presentations. As seen on the homework calendar and practiced in school, students will now be assigned a weekly reading log comment. These responses will support students' written responses to literature. They entail 1) a summary and 2) a response to what was read. An organizer for summarizing may be found here.
In Math, we
marked multiples of the numbers 1-10 on the hundreds chart. We looked for
patterns among the multiples. For example, the multiples of two are all even
numbers. Also, multiples of five all end in the digits five or zero. We also
played a game to practice multiplication facts. An electronic version of the
game may be found here.
In Writing, students
finalized their personal narrative writing and wrote about their experiences
during our wonderful trip to Plimoth Plantation (see photos below!). This week,
students also created Spy Ponder accounts. These are Google accounts that will
enable students to save and share school documents.
In Science, we
investigated how length, pitch, and frequency are related. We observed how
the sounds produced by rulers of shorter length have a higher frequency and pitch
than those of longer rulers. Similarly, we investigated how shortening the
length of an air column on a whistle produces a higher pitch. 
Students continue to demonstrate acts of kindness to their
peers and have therefore filled our Rainbow Roundup bulletin board! We will
have a pajama/stuffed animal/read-a-thon celebration next Friday. Students are
welcome to bring their stuffed animals in on Thursday for a stuffed animal “sleepover.”
