Happy Birthday to Dr. Seuss! This month Room 5 is doing an author study on Dr. Seuss. His creative and fun books will be connected to all subjects, not just Language Arts. Stay tuned the next few weeks.
This morning in gym, students really focused on some fundamental skipping skills, such as how to hold the rope handles, and in which direction to turn the rope. We also learned a very valuable skill - making sure we are not in somebody else's way!
In Science, if you recall, the other day I wrote the "Winter" in the middle of a page, and divided the rest of the page into four sections. After reviewing and getting some more examples, and some great conversation, students put their ideas to paper. Students shared that people in winter wear warm clothes, drink hot cocoa, and participate in a lot of outside activities like sledding and skiing. Animals hibernate or fly to warm places. Arop drew a nice picture of fish under frozen water. He said that the fish were staying warm under the shelter. Cohen drew drooping trees and plants that were not getting sunlight. Almost everyone said the weather is snowy, but sometimes it can be sunny. Ask your son or daughter what winter examples they had of what people wear in and what they do, what animals do, what happens to trees and plants, and what the weather is like.
Our class is hoping our acrostic poem gets read to the school. In small groups we discussed why people love reading, and some of us (Ethan, Alia, Logan, Raina, Yousif) wrote down some great ideas. At the end, we came up with a great poem, which everyone signed. Our title is a "hat's off" to Dr. Seuss. The poem has the word READ and each letter is used to describe reading:
Read
Enjoy
Adventure
Delightful
Have a great evening!
