Today in room 5!

We began our day with our usual morning meeting.
Students then transitioned into dance where they jived and jazzed around the gym!

We then had some time after snack to start talking about blends at the beginning of words. todays blend was "bl". Students thought of words like blue, block, blonde and blew for the bl blend.
We then transitioned into a making words activity in which students were sheets and followed instructions on how to make words! We started simple with the vowel a and consonants c s r t.

Then we made at, art, tar, cat, cart, cat, star, stars and many many more!

Students then did their first number talk!

Without using paper, only discussion we talked about the equation 2+2=3+1 and whether the statement was true!
It was great to see all the opinions on whether the equation was true! What do you think parents? Talk with your child about the equation!

In the afternoon we examined the prairies' landforms. Students had to use their sight to think of words that matched the prairies and then draw the features of the landscape.

We finished off the day discussing melting! We used a hair dryer to melt ice and crayons!
It was amazing to see how solids can change states to liquids!
