Literacy


This week in Literacy we have been working on Cause and Effect. Understanding cause and effect can help us to build our comprehension of a text.

Today we read the book Alexander and the Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

We then came up with all of the cause and effect relationships we could think of from the book and made a poster:

We will continue practicing determining cause and effect when we read in order to deepen our undersanding of what we are reading.

Number Lines

This week in math we have been practicing using number lines. 

First we take a double-digit number like 37

Then we explode it into groups of tens, fives and ones:

10 10 10 5 2

Then we jump, skip and hop from 0 on a number line to get to 37.

Ask me to jump, skip and hop a double-digit number for you! 

Tomorrow we will be praticing adding 2 numbers together on a number line.

Writing Rubric Self-Assessment

This week we are finishing up our rough copy for our Insect Descriptive Writing.

We generated some criteria as a class in order to aim for improving our writing. 

We also used a checklist to help us remember and check if we had all of the parts needed to make our writing complete:

We will do 2 self-assessments.

First we will assess ourselves using the bullseye rubric based on our rough copy.

Then we will spend all next week editing.

Finally we will then assess ourselves again after we have made all of the edits to see how we improved.
