Picture Graphs!

 Greetings! Happy Thursday! I hope everyone had a tremendous day! 

In Religion class today, we talked about how Jesus works through the Pope and priests to help the church grow and teach others about Jesus. 

In Language Arts class, we used our oral vocabulary words in sentences, read words with oo, u, u_e, ew, ue, ui, and ou along with words with suffixes. We also practiced identifying synonyms; we generated a list of synonyms for the word big. We then wrote 4 of them on cinnamon rolls. To help us build our fluency and comprehension skills, we partner read a story in our decodable reader. We also read a nonfiction piece about how people worked together to make the world better. After reading that piece we completed pages in our close reading companion that focused on main idea and key details. Finally, we practiced using pronouns in sentences. 

In Math class today, we began our chapter on graphs. Today, we focused on picture graphs. We looked at picture graphs and answered questions about them. We then created our very own picture graph on our favorite fruit. The students did a great job with this! 

We ended our day with Social Studies. Today, we talked about how a factory is one place where goods are made. We also talked about how people work in a factory to earn money. 

Have a wonderful night!
