Mondays always seem so busy and filled with lots of work. :) Please read on for info...

MORNING WORK- This morning, we completed the Caught Ya, added five new words to our spelling dictionaries (friend, really, school, when, who), and introduced the new Wordly Wise words. Remember, you can see them by checking out Brainflips:

We also reviewed the Buccaneer Book requirements. Start reading your Buc Book soon- and be sure to complete the work included in the folder Mrs. Edwards gave you.

Afterward, we completed page 34 in the math journal.  Students were also able to play Name That Number with a partner.  

SCIENCE- We learned about how to change our notes on our chosen sea creatures into sentences.  I posted the power point on Friday for you, so check out the previous post.  Then, during seatwork students were able to work on adding pictures, graphics, and paragraphs to their glogs.  We will continue working on them tomorrow.  Be sure to ask for a copy of the checklist and rubric.

READING- I explained to the students that part of what we'll do in reading is read silently, then get together with a small group to discuss the chapters we read.  At times, I'll ask students to look for words they don't know- a job called Word Wizard.  Today, we read a non-fiction article about bioluminescence.  Together, we highlighted any words that were new to us, then I shared with them how these words would be recorded to share with a small group.  We will do this again tomorrow, so don't worry.
