Deal It was the math game students played this morning to practice comparing numbers. With a partner they made 2 or 3 digit numbers with playing cards and then compared the numbers with the greater than and less than symbols. It was a game that went over well and students worked well with their partners!
'Alexander and The Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day' is a picture book that is an excellent example of an author using an anchor line. An anchor line is used to hold the writing steady and repeats through out the story. Authors will use an anchor line to add detail to their writing and make it more interesting. We read the story this morning and then discussed how Judith Viorst made good use of the anchor line. We have added this idea to our tool box of ways authors add detail to their stories and will put this into action next week.
We discovered that water, erosion, heat and pressure are the only things that can change a rock while we watched Magic School Bus. We also talked about the things you will find in earth materials.
No school tomorrow.
Your student should now have a rock at school for testing.
