Period 2 - We played a Tale of Desperaux Blooket.

Period 3 -we'll talk about the 2D shapes that make up 3D solids...and hopefully start work on nets.

Period 4 and 5 we'll watch the Tale of Desperaux movie.

Period 6 is gym with Mr. D

Thursday April 16th

 Here is what we're doing/did today!

Period 1 - We finished The Tale of Desperaux!  

Period 2 - We did a fun writing activity where the kids glued red string to paper and wrote their best 'show don't tell' sentences.

Period 3 - We stayed out before the rain...our old co op student Will returned.

Period 4 -music with Mrs. Haynes.

Period 5 - Buddies...we're going to do a 'shape scavenger hunt'. 

Period 6 - we'll check in on our Bean Babies...and try to finish our digital mood boards...maybe have some free time if we're done everything.  

Wednesday April 14th

 Here is the plan for today...it's a little mixed up with Swim to Survive.

Period 1 - Red light, then Music (we switched it around so they wouldn't miss music today)

Period 2 -Read aloud - reader's/writer's workshop.

Period 3 - Math - More Edges/Faces and Vertices work.

Period 4 -we'll snack before we head out to Aldershot Pool.

Period 5 and 6 - Swim to Survive at Aldershot.  When we walk back they'll have some time to eat and rest before going home...usually about 20 minutes or so??

Tuesday April 14th

 Period 1 - Red light and read aloud...we're getting so close to the end and they're are sooo into this book I read about 6 chapters!

Period 2 -French

Period 3 -Outside...it was beautiful...lots of football for Mr. Cross

Period 4 -Edges, Faces and Vertices in math and on knowledgehook.

Period 5 and 6 is Science.  We'll be looking at parts of a plant.  We'll start our own bean babies growing lima beans in the window.  We'll use Google Drawing to make our own diagrams of the parts of a plant (e.g., Roots, Stem, Leaves, and Flower).

Reminder...tomorrow is Swim to Survive...bring your bathing suit.

Monday April 13th

 Here is what we've done (so far).

Period 1 -Red light, weekend round up, read aloud

Period 2 - we worked on our 'digital mood boards' and continued working on 'showing, not telling'.

Period 3 -we stayed outside all period...it was beautiful!

Period 4 - Math -we review Edges/Faces/Vertices- they did some work on Prodigy while I conferenced one on one.

Period 5 -is gym..they're with Mr. D right now.

Period 6 -is finish up.  I need to finish my conferences....they need to finish their digital mood boards and some prodigy questions.  If they work hard, I might give them some free time.

Friday April 9th

 Here is the plan for today:

Period 1-Red light, read aloud, and I'm going to walk them through their 'mood boards' they'll be creating on Google Slides based on class novel.

Period 2 - They'll work on their mood boards finding pictures online that fit the mood of the characters...then writing sentences that show and don't tell what each picture means.

Period 3 -we'll continue to investigate 3D solids.  Naming them and figuring out their edges, faces and vertices.  I have some work for them to do as well.

Period 4-we'll use the chromebooks to do some more 3D work.

Period 5 - is Science.  We'll look at the life cycle of a plant and dissect a kidney bean...to see what's inside.  

Period 6 is gym.

Have a great weekend.  Reminder, we start Swim to Survive next Wednesday!
