This work we worked on place value and determining the values of numbers up to the millions place. The students chose a city/state/country and found the population; they paired up to compare their numbers and explain the value of each number. We will continue to work on place value next week as well as continue our multiplication review.
The students came up with examples of situations or sentences using our vocabulary words. There were some very creative examples!
We continued to work on our book club groups, Flat Stanley: Stanley in Space and Magic Tree House: Midnight on the Moon. We are working on finding the important points and summarizing when we read.
In our Moon/Space unit, the students have chosen a variety of activities to complete as they discover and learn about space, including researching questions (using the internet and/or books), reading space/moon books and recording the VIP's (Very Important Points), viewing moon videos and recording the VIP's, reading and categorizing our space sentences, and preparing read alouds to share with the class. We will continue our space unit with a trip to the Planetarium on Thursday.
Next week we will be working on goal setting; please send a 3-ring binder to be a data notebook and keep track of our individual goals.
