Today we started out by correcting our D.L.P. and using the word wall words in a paragraph. After sharing our paragraphs we learned about words that compare. We learned that when you compare two objects the word ends in -er and when you compare 3 or more the word ends in -est. We identified words that compare and then completed a worksheet independently. After correcting it together we discussed the South Pole. We made a web of animals that live in the South Pole (and discovered polar bears do not live there) and then saw some pictures of different animals on the Internet. We then learned the vocabulary for the new story and finally read/discussed The Emperor's Egg. We had such an awesome discussion about the story. The students were very interested in it. After that we learned about the new art center and finally completed 3 centers. After lunch we switched right away for math. We reviewed 2-D and 3-D shapes and then made patterns using different shapes. We identified the unit (the shapes that repeat in a pattern) and then finished some workbook pages together. We then switched back to go to art. After art we finished the day with science. We reviewed why exercising is important and then learned about our 5 senses and nervous system. We watched a short movie and learned about how parts of our body send messages to the brain so that we can make sense of our world. We received blank body outlines and drew in a brain and the wrote the purpose of the organ. We had a short quiz after that.
The homework for tonight is to read The Emperor's Egg and complete math 19-5. Please review hexagon, trapezoid, and pentagon. Those seem to be the ones we have the most trouble with.
