Today in Math we focused on geometry and problem solving as we learned about tangrams, created our own tangrams, and created designs/objects with them. The students were very creative!
We worked on the use of commas in a series. The students were able to create their own sentences using commas in a series of items they would like for Christmas.
We continued to work on our book club books, Flat Stanley's Worldwide Adventures: The Japanese Ninja Surprise and Flat Stanley's Worldwide Adventures: The Amazing Mexican Secret.
We continued to work on cursive writing, practicing the letters Aa and Cc.
Today we had Spanish, PE, and Guidance.

Commas in a Series
Today we worked on commas in a series. We used our culture sentences to find examples of the use of commas in a series. We learned that a series is a group of items, and used series of books as an example to help understand the concept. We learned that commas should be used to separate three or more words in a series. We practiced writing sentences using commas in a series. The students wrote about what they wanted for Christmas and used the commas to separate the items.
Josie: I would like Squinkies, a guitar, DSi, a pool, a clubhouse, and an American Girl doll for Christmas.
Ava: I want Squinkies, Teacup Piggies, Chunk, and DS games.
Sam: I want a DSi XL, Legos, and a Nerf football.
Madi: I would like a Flip camera, a new iPod, my family to be happy, Squinkies, and an American Girl doll for Christmas.
Ian: I would like an iPod, a Lego set, and some Chet Gecko books for Christmas.

In Math we chose one of our created shapes from the 4 triangle problem and rotated it many times to create a unique design.
We worked on creating some things for Dr. Cryer today. These are a surprise!
We brainstormed things we know and things we want to know about the moon and space. Our Science unit for January and February will focus on these two topics. The students are very eager to learn more about the moon and space and love to share the things they already know!
Today we had PE and Art.

I would like a Flip camera, Squinkie series 6, 8, and 9. I have tried very hard to be good. It has worked out very good. The reason why I want these things is because I want to be a photographer.

Last but not least any American Girl a monster high doll, and a hamster.

Have a Merry Christmas!

Today was spirit day! We had a lot of orange and black in our classroom/school today!
We started the 4 triangle problem today in Math. The students worked in groups to create new shapes using 4 triangles. They created triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons. We will continue to work on this next week.
We began working on cursive today. We identified the cursive letters that are similar to and different than their print version. We focused on writing the capital and lowercase a today.
Today we had Spanish, PE, Library, and Music.

In Math we learned about angles. We learned that angles are two rays that meet at an endpoint. We learned about right, acute, and obtuse angles. We found examples of right angles in our classroom, including the windows, mailboxes, whiteboards, computer monitors, and our desktop nametags. We used our bodies and pipe cleaners to create the three different types of angles.
We read and categorized our facts about the countries we have been learning about. The categories included the population of the countries, capitals of the countries, food, land formations, and weather.
To practice our vocabulary words, we worked in small groups to brainstorm examples of things that would make us content, things that would put us in distress, and things that we would be desperate for.
We wrote Important Thing poems about our favorite holiday people/animals, including Santa, Rudolph, Mrs. Claus, and elves. These will posted on the blog with the illustrations made by the students.
Today we had Spanish, PE, and Guidance.

In Math we learned about parallel and intersecting lines. We went on a geometry hunt looking for parallel and intersecting lines in our classroom and our school.
We continued to work on our vocabulary words this week. The students came up with their own examples of the words.
We wrote persuasive letters to Santa or our parents/grandparents trying to convince him/them to get us the things we want for Christmas.
Mrs. Griswold is reading aloud the book My Name is Maria Isabel, which is about a girls' pride in her heritage as well as the challenges of fitting in to a new environment. This book goes along with our work on learning about different cultures.
Today we had PE and Art.

In Math we learned about lines, line segments, and rays.
We read a German folktale today, The Fisherman and his wife, and we learned our new vocabulary words:
wretched: unhappy or feeling bad/sick
content: happy and satisfied with the way things are
distress: in danger and needing help
desperate: wanting something so much that you would be willing to do or say almost anything
rage: uncontrollable anger
We worked in pairs to complete a venn diagram comparing the countries we've been researching (Germany, Japan, and Mexico) to our own country. We will be using these to help us write comparison and contrast paragraphs.
Today we had Spanish, Health, and Music.
