Fabulous Friday

Thank you to any veterans reading this blog!!

This morning the students completed the Friday portion of our vocabulary sheet for our word of the week, reduce.  Then they chose which academic skill to practice, since it is Free Choice Friday.

After watching the announcements, we discussed Veteran's Day and watched a Flocabulary video about the holiday and reviewed some vocabulary.

Then, we went to our school's Veteran's Day flag raising ceremony.

When we returned to class, the students continued working through the Flocabulary lesson about Veteran's Day as we listened to patriotic music.  It was a really nice morning!!

After eating lunch, we switched for math.

Math began with a number sense, logic word problem.  Then the children completed a session of Xtra math and worked on converting measurements using the Live Binder posted in GC.  We ended math playing a Kahoot focusing on mass and weight conversions.

After math, we began our literacy block.  We started by reviewing the genre of drama and its elements by making an anchor chart.  Then, we watched a short video clip describing it.  After that, the students explored reader's theater scripts, looking for the elements of a drama, using 2 links posted in GC - Reading.

We ended the day by reviewing the weekly vocabulary words for weeks 8 and 9; propose and reduce.  Then we discussed and posted various discussion starters that we will be using in class.

Have a great weekend!
