Good morning! I have included pictures for our banana observation from today. Tomorrow will be the last day for observations and we will draw our conclusion based on our data. Thank you to those that participated in our prediction survey.
Today we have been focusing on the process skill of OBSERVING. Students were shown the picture below for 1 minute and asked to make observations. After the minute, I took the picture away and asked questions about the picture. Students were amazed at how little the observed. This helped us understand the importance of taking clear notes when we observe and also the importance of paying attention to detail.
After the picture activity, I then showed them the video below. The directions give them something very specific to observe and then point out details that they may have missed during their observation. Try it out!
We will continue practicing the process skills throughout the week with an M&M activity. Students will also add new information to their Interactive Notebook for the process skills.
In Math, we are continuing with our focus on addition and subtraction with regrouping. We are working on Math 4 Today #5, with an assessment on Friday. Do not forget to continue working with the Fact Practice Log for homework. It is checked each Friday. Please remember that school pictures are tomorrow. Since we also have PE, it is appropriate to send a change of clothes/shoes for them to change into after pictures. Also, the last day to turn in Fundraiser Packets is THIS FRIDAY. Have a great week!
