All week for literacy we are Reading like Researchers. We finished using non-fiction articles about our insect of choice, making think marks (annotating) and filling out our graphic organizers. Tomorrow we will start using non-fiction books and adding to our information.
We are also paying close attention to text features that can help us learn more information such as table of contents, index, glossaries, pictures, captions, heading, titles, diagrams, maps, etc.
Math Word Problems
Today we continued working on a math word problem. We worked in groups to follow the CUBES steps and share our understanding of the steps involved in solving word problems.
We made sure to check that we were following all of the CUBES steps in order to make sure we did not miss an important part of the process:
Tomorrow we will continue sharing our process and strategies and then begin a new word problem.
Ask me how CUBES helps me?
Insect Exploration
Today we walked to the top of the hill above PRATT to observe insects in their natural habitat. We had to observe, collect and sketch. Ask me what insects/bugs I found:
We also learned that some insects live in colonies and are social.
Definition of social insect
: an insect (such as a termite or bee) that lives in a colony or community with other individuals of the same species.
Later in the week we will go up to the Grassy Area of the Hill to compare what we can find there to what we found today.
