In the Classroom
In math this week, we learned about how to find equivalent fractions and compare fractions. We also used number lines and discussed adding fractions. We will finish this unit next week and take a short assessment. In writing, we added to our toolkit of poetry skills by learning about alliteration, onomatopoeia, and where to put line breaks. We will choose a poem next week to create a class anthology. In reading, I began administering the end of year assessment. In science, we concluded our life cycle unit by observing our chicks! They began hatching Monday night so we had 5 chicks to look at Tuesday morning.
We even got to see one hatching! I was able to capture it on video so the whole class could watch it on the Smartboard. (I removed the sound from the video)
We were very lucky to have all 12 chicks hatch. Once we moved them over to their new home, we had fun observing them eat, drink, and chirp throughout the day.
We were also able to get them out and observe them up close!
The chicks will be leaving us Friday morning, but we loved being their home for the past two weeks!
