Today We:
- Had Music.
- Set new personal goals for the week. Students please tell your parents what your goal is this week.
- Continued researching about India using laptops, and our country profiles link on our blog.
- Continued reading our class read aloud The Lightning Thief, by Rick Riordan.
- Began looking at 3D shapes. We discussed what vertices, edges, and faces are on 3D shapes, as well as reviewed some of the basic shapes such as spheres, cylinders, prisms, pyramids, and cubes. Students used 3D shapes to count and record the vertices, edges, and faces of specific shapes in an organized chart. After filling in their charts, students created rectangular prisms, cubes, triangular pyramids, square based pyramids, and triangular prisms using toothpicks and plasticine. As a challenge after building these five shapes students were asked to build a sphere and a cone using paper and glue.
- Went to see the 5 baby ducklings that hatched over the weekend, and sketched them to complete our duck life cycle pages in our visual journals. Students please tell your parents what you observed about the ducklings during our visit.
- Played kickball in Gym.
