Here is what we did today:

We reviewed math concepts from yesterday, worked on some textbook questions and then silently read.

Track and Field was cancelled and moved to tomorrow due to rain.

UOI: Today we learned about logos and slogans. We did a fun group activity to see which group could identify the most logos and slogans. As a closing activity, the students where given made-up companies and products and they had to design logos and slogans to match.

Recess/Lunch

Inquiry into Math: Today we learned about Area! We learned how to count the squares inside the shape to find the area. When a shape is irregular that is a method to find the square units. Then we learned that when it is a rectangle or square (regular shapes) when can multiply the length and width to find the area. We did some examples as a class and then did some practice textbook questions.

Inquiry into Language: Our focus today was on the OREO writing process! OREO stands for: Opinion, reason, evidence and opinion. The reason and evidence are repeated three times for three reasons (opinion with hook, 1# reason, evidence, 2# reason, evidence, 3# reason, evidence and restate the opinion). Next, we went through the brainstorming process and practiced how to complete this OREO graphic organizer. Our topic was: why we believe recess should be longer. Our next step is to put this into paragraph form! For homework, I gave them a topic and they are to complete their OREO graphic organizers.
