First, we reviewed words with previous features. Next, we read "What Am I?" from our readers and discussed what riddles are. I gave more examples of riddles for the students to solve. Then, the students came up with their own riddles and shared them with their table! They thought these were so much fun! 

 

For spelling, we completed lessons 16A and 16C.

 

First, we read The Story of Ferdinand. Then, we answered discussion questions, talked about the story components, and wrote a summary of the book together. Next, we completed pages that discussed verbs and our alphabet page over verbs. The students were instructed to write at least five verbs from the list that we came up with together. Lastly, I modeled how to write an opinion paper about why I like something on the board. 

 

On Tuesday, we completed pages 118-119 which focused on "The Teen Numbers." Then, on Thursday, we completed pages 121-122 which focused on "Building Numbers 41-100."

 

In Science, we are learning about the weather. We discussed all the different types of weather including sunny, rainy, stormy, and so many more! Then, we imagined we were meteorologists and had to figure out what the weather will be on a given map. They did very well! 

 

We are continuing to learn about Antarctica. On Tuesday, we read a book about Antarctica that talked about many different animals that live there. On Thursday, we learned about the emperor penguins and orca whales. We completed a Venn diagram to compare and contrast the two animals.
