Writing:
-Setting descriptions using 5 senses

Today: We learned that settings are descriptions of a stories time and place. We are learning to use our five senses to describe a specific setting. Students used sentence starters and their senses to describe a cave today!

-Creating a prairie story called, "If you're not from the Prairie" which will be used to describe different elements of the prairie. For example, "If you're not from the prairie then you don't know cold! On the prairie it is so cold that it will freeze eyelashes in seconds!"

Reading:
-Starting guided reading groups this week in which the students will be split into groups based off level to do leveled reading with me!

Math
-Addition with and without regrouping.
-Skip counting review and games
Today: We broke our math up into two parts of the day. In the morning the students did an open ended activity in which their instructions were to "Make 25" Below is some examples of the ways students were able to make 25
.
We will be practicing this skill all week!

Social
-Creating prairie stories
-Creating a grain elevator art project to show one of the main services in the prairies and connecting it to our art unit.

Science
Working on concepts related to hot and cold.
We will be exploring what temperature is and how it connects to hot and cold.
We will also be using thermometers to measure temperatures.
If we have time we may also be able to use a heat source to melt and burn materials!
Today: Today I wanted to do a check to see what kinds of hot and cold things students could come up with. We used magazines to cut and glue a variety of hot and cold objects to a sheet of paper. It was up to the students to sort the objects and decide which objects were hot or cold! We will finish this project tomorrow.
