Last Week, Today: 10/23-10/27

Reader's Workshop
We continued reading informational texts this week! We:
- developed and used a rubric to score our informational text maps
- used an informational text map to analyze Gail Gibbons' book Seed to Plant.
- found examples of informational text features that authors use to make it easy for us to learn from them
- read and interpreted a new poem, "Plip, Plop, Raindrop"

Writer's Workshop
We finished our publishing process by conferring with Mr. MacLellan and making final illustrations.

Math
We continued to work on three digit addition, and had an assessment to see how our learning is progressing.
We worked on fact fluency with bar models, math mountains, and a game called "Make 10 Memory."
We started to film instructional videos about math games you can play at home!

Science
We planted bulbs in our school garden! We put them around the base of the new apple trees to help protect the trees from animal pests that don't like the smell of daffodils. We also drew careful, precise, specific, scientific illustrations of bulbs, flowers, and seeds. We pulled flowers apart to see where the seeds develop.
We thought about what kind of material you would use to build a trampoline.

Social Studies
We made maps of the school!

Morning Questions
