2ND GRADE: THE MIRACULOUS JOURNEY OF EDWARD TULANE:
This week we took some time to practice our new parts of speech - verb and adverb. The students completed a worksheet underlining the verb and circling the adverb. Then we revisited our Edward Tracker to add our new events from the story. We had a new twist where Edward is now referred to as Susanna with his new family. We are also seeing Edward struggle with understanding different emotions he is now feeling.
To end the week, we started an exercise on point of view. We had to look at a situation that took place and examine several different character points of view with that event. This activity allowed us to think about each characters feelings or opinions about different events that have occurred. This was a new idea for some of them and we will continue to work with it next week.
Students need to read Chapters 11 and 12 for this week.
3RD GRADE: BEATRIX POTTER:
This week we continued with our study on Beatrix Potter. First, the students saw a reading analyzer completed from The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle. We looked at each section and what is expected of them when they complete it because it was their first time seeing it. Then, the students used the remainder of their time to read and add on two more stories to our tracker. This week we looked at The Tale of Benjamin Bunny and The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse.
We will continue with this lesson next week.
4TH GRADE: FAMILY SYSTEMS:
This week we went backwards and repeated the lesson for my friends that were at Camp Goodfellow two weeks ago. It worked out perfect because this week the other group was at Camp Goodfellow. We watched a short clip on What is a Family to a group of children from Australia. Then, the students were asked to write a paragraph defining their family in a similar way. They were reminded to utilize ARMS and CUPS for revising and editing their paragraph.
We will finish the lesson next week when the whole group is back together.
The time has arrived for the students to design their own car seat. This week the students were given the rules to the crash test. They saw some old test runs from previous years to see what the crash test will look like. Then, we went over the materials and requirements they must meet with the different supplies. The big catch will be throughout the process is to make sure they don't go over the amount of materials they are allowed to utilize. The magic number for the next few weeks will be 50 centimeters. Although the students are given lots of materials they must make sure to measure and record what they are using and cannot go over a total of 50 centimeters of supplies. At the end of the design process, we will conduct our own crash test with real eggs! Assuming we have no technical issues, I will share videos of their crash tests.
We are putting the finishing touches on the Yeti. This week they completed the feet. It took some debating and trial and error on their part making sure the measurements were correct.
They are still working away at judging the frog jumping contest. This week they did a much better job at remembering the strip is divided into 3 wholes.
Next week, we will look at the data and go over all of the results the children recorded.
