Language Arts- Essential Question this past week-  What makes different animals unique? We looked at the unique features that certain animals have that make them special to this world. We talked about visualizing while we are reading stories to help make the story come alive.  The kids enjoyed reading the story, Martina The Beautiful Cockroach and hearing how she found a husband. We had a comparative play to go along with the story that I sent home over the weekend. With this play, kids are given the opportunity to earn some extra credit by acting out a part, or the whole play over a Flipgrid. The flip grid link is located in Google Classroom under the Thursday, December 2nd folder.  They can be as creative as they would like, have family members help, use props, change voices. Have fun with it!  This is an optional project. 

We also worked on action verbs and locating them in sentences.  

Math- 

This Tuesday we will take a test over Topic 6, Area. This test will be given via paper and pencil instead of the regular online version.

 We will begin Topic 7 which is over representing and Interpreting Data with the use of Pictographs and Bar Graphs.

Erieview is getting in the winter spirit by participating in The 12 Dress Days of Erieview. Your child can choose to participate in some, all, or not at all. The calendar was sent home on Friday and it is also pictured above. 

Classroom News

Just a reminder...With the increase of absences this time of year, I will be having more assignments listed in their Google Classroom. That way, if your child is out and begins to feel better during the day, they can begin to work on their missing assignments at home just by logging into their Google Classroom accounts. This is something we have been practicing since the beginning of school so they should all know how to navigate the site.
