We started working on a special project in Religion class today. We are making posters for the bishop. We are drawing what it means to be led by the Spirit for our mission. We made our sloppy copies today and will make our good copies tomorrow.
In Language Arts class, we answered questions using our oral vocabulary words. We then used letters to spell and read long e words before reading words with prefixes and using them in sentences. Next we read the word wall to practice all of our sight words and used our vocabulary words in sentences. After that we turned to reading. We partner read both a story in our decodable reader and Animal Teams. Then we read a short story about bees and answered questions in our close reading companion to help build our comprehension. Finally, we practiced using has and have in sentences.
After working hard all morning, it was time to celebrate Valentine's day. We began with two science experiments involving candy hearts. First we predicted whether candy hearts would sink or float in water and then tried it out; as it turns out, they sink. Next we put candy hearts in water, vinegar, and soda to see what would happen to them. We discovered that in the soda, the heart actually shrinks and floats to the top.
Next, we created a math graph using candy hearts. Each student was given a cup of candy hearts, graphed them on paper, and then answered questions about their graph.
Finally, as treats were being passed out, the students played Roll-A-Love-Bug and worked on building puzzles. It was an awesome afternoon.
Here are pictures of a math graph, stuffed treat bag, and the writing project from yesterday!
