First thing this morning, we did a couple of activity sheets identifying Figurative Language. Numbers 19 and 20 are due tomorrow. Next, students shared their "I'd Rather Be... " poems that they worked on last week. Lastly, we started to review some spelling rules; we will be addressing these more formally in the days ahead.
Later, in math , we added notes about perimeter and area to our Math Interactive Notebooks, reviewing the formulas for each. We also did a 3-minute multiplication drill and added today's results to our line graphs.
This afternoon we had a special presentation! Sue Davies and her squad came in for a brand new presentation specifically about aquatic plants and animals invasive species. The kids learned about several species, how to deal with them, what not to do with pets that they tire of, and other methods of prevention. Then the kids played Jeopardy, which was a lot of fun. Finally, they created their own "Wanted" ad about fictional or non-fictional invasive species.
Somewhere in our day we played some badminton during PE, and almost all of the art cards were finished (just one to go!).
REMINDER: The ABC salmon booklets were due Tuesday; marks will be taken off for lateness.
Here are some photos from the Invasive Species presentation:)
