Class activities for Wednesday, April 26
Reading: Today we watched an online movie of Esai Morales reading “Private I Guana”. We were looking at what good readers do when they read to an audience (read with expression, vary the speed, volume and pitch of their voice, practice reading the words). At library, students selected a picture book to read to students at Anderson Elementary. It will help students to practice reading their books to an adult at home.
Language Arts: We continued to review the meanings of Core Democratic Values (CDVs) and journal our ideas.
Spelling: Today, students used letter cards to make words with the /s/ sound spelled as “ce”, “ci” or “cy”.
The Level Four Core Word list is an option for continued practice.
Math: We graded the math homework from last night and then took a mini-quiz over division. Homework is to complete a division worksheet that was passed out in class. The answers are on the back of the sheet for students to check their work.
Science: Students made a self-contained ecosystem containing a worm and a plant as part of a presentation by ForMar Nature Preserve. We also discussed food chains and food webs.
Social Studies: None due to the science activity.
