Reading - Students finished up their "Nonfiction Feature Find" activity with Mrs. Bowden.
Science - During Science students reviewed plant parts. They arranged certain items on paper plates and labeled the parts and their functions. I brought in spinach to represent leaves (it wasn't in the best condition), carrots to represent roots, grapes to represent fruit, and popcorn colonels to represent seeds. I forgot the lettuce at home so students drew their own stems and flowers.
Writing - I taught a brief lesson on writing topic sentences. We discussed the things effective sentences should have (proper spelling/grammar, first letter of the first word capitalized, and focused details).
Math - During Math Mrs. Dennis gave students an introduction to the new iPads. After the tutorial on how to use them properly students played multiplication math games.
A note about homework.... I attempted to do an impromptu vocabulary check at the end of the day and was slightly dismayed that none of my students knew the words. Vocabulary should be studied every night. The words are challenging; however, if a student does at least 10 minutes of vocab work every night they should do well on the vocabulary quiz.
