Field Day 2016 from Kathy Riesing on Vimeo.
Math
This week in math we made name collection boxes for several different numbers and reviewed "In-and-Out" machines. We practiced applying an addition or subtraction rule to a given number, and we also figured out the rule given the "in" and the "out" numbers. We also reviewed telling time to the hour and introduced the minute hand. We talked about the difference between analog and digital clocks as well and played a matching game.
Literacy
During reading workshop this week, we revisited the book Molly's Organic Farm and practiced using all of our senses to help us better understand the story. We also practiced using the different reading strategies we have learned this year to help us figure out the meaning of new or unfamiliar words. Using the books Flowers and Stems, we used several strategies to help us figure out several new vocabulary words such as using the pictures, thinking about the other words on the page, and trying out a similar word to help us understand.
Students also completed their final entry in their writing journals for the month of May. It has been amazing to watch the children grow and develop as writers this year!
