Staying busy and getting a lot done before the holiday break.
Today in math we did math rotations. In small group I introduced tenths to the students. This is truly a new concept for them It will be taught again in 4th and 5th grade. The main idea the students need to understand is that when you get 10 tenths, you have one whole. That is so hard to understand. Tomorrow the lesson is on tenths and hundredths using base-ten blocks. Tonight for their homework they need to write story problems using large numbers.
Today as a whole group we started reading the Velveteen Rabbit. The students did a great job making connections with this story. We will finish it before the break and on the Tuesday before break the students will get to bring in their own "Velveteen Rabbit (a.k.a. precious stuffed animal or blanket) to share with the class.
We worked today on what an adverb is and did an activity where they had to demonstrate a adverb and verb, such as gracefully dance. That was a lot of fun!
We did the Daily 5 and had time in the computer lab. I showed the students a website called www.storylineonline.net where actors and actresses read their favorite stories aloud. It is very neat and the students can read along as someone reads. They also add a bit of music and sound affects.
Have a great night!
