Today was a lot of fun! We reviewed the Wordly Wise words together, but homework should be done independently tonight (parts A & B). You can always check the definitions at BrainFlip.
We also took time to share some of our silly sentence plays called, "The Case of The Missing Keys." Super funny! Be sure to complete the next page in your handwriting booklet - which included how to connect the letter c to the letter a.
During math, we practiced how to calculate elapsed time. I taught the class how to use a number line to calculate elapsed time, but some preferred their own strategy. We determined how much daylight we have at this time of year by calculating the number of hours and minutes in between sunrise and sunset. We completed page 26 in the math journal...many of us needed to help each other.
During rotation today, we finished taking notes in our Sea Monsters booklet. You should have chosen to read and take notes on:
The Anglerfish OR the Vampire Squid
Plus one other creature from this list: Dragonfish, Oarfish, Cookie-Cutter Shark, Pink Goblin Shark, or Tube Worms.
Pictures are required in the flipbook, as well as labels identifying interesting skills or body parts.
Seatwork included:
*Finish Critter Cam questions
*Finish uploading artwork to LIttle Bird Tales (I cna do this for you.)
*Complete coloring the submarine viewer (art paper with different sea creatures on it- color code included)
SCIENCE: I took the class to the online portion of World Book, where we read the material about the ocean floor. We tried taking the quiz together and wouldn't you know, I made an error!!! The children caught me, though. The Continental Shelf is covered in sediment...not coral! Boy, they're smart third graders! I'll have to show you how the site works. You can log in from school easily. From home...that's much different and we're still working out the kinks.
We ended the day at the library where Mrs. Edwards talked more about how to become the expert on your Buccaneer Book. I would be more than happy to let you meet with her when you get back for the details. Just remind me to send you. :)
