We have been working hard to finish up our Soil Horizons flip book. Our flip books show what we know about the humus, topsoil, subsoil and bedrock. Once they are all finished I will be sending them home for review prior to a unit quiz on soil.
We have been working on the comprehension strategy of visualization to help us better understand what the author is trying to tell us. We have created a tree map about scarecrows, been reading picture books about scarecrows and drawing scarecrows in art and now we have taken the poem, Scarecrow by Kristen Riley, and highlighted the picture words the author used and drawn the picture that is in our heads. The picture should show what is in the text, including the detail ie: the scarecrow is sitting on a haystack with patches on his elbows and a big hat on his head.
Our work representing numbers in various ways continues and we are becoming more confident using numbers in different ways. Ask your little learner how they best like to represent a number. We are also working to improve our basic facts (adding and subtracting to 18) by playing games and talking about strategies that are helpful for efficiency.
