Sixty-Ninth Day of School

Students will have the 3rd stanza of their poem (the 2nd will come later) in their possession today.

Today we made predictions based on the style and characterization of this week's main selection Smile, Mike! We then confirmed, or rather invalidated, our predictions. By making predictions, it makes us active readers more likely to comprehend and build greater understand of the material we read.

Earlier this week we experimented with rhythm and movement in PE and today we practiced throwing, catching and bounce passing to a partner.

In Art, we explored the element of line by practicing different types of lines and then seeing how various artists used line in their compositions.

For discussion:
What are some different types of lines which artists might incorporate into a drawing? (straight, curved, wavy, zigzagged, horizontal, vertical, broken, thick, thin, diagonal)
Reminder:
Although it doesn't show up on today's classwork or homework, based on the Common Core standards, 1st grade students are responsible for understanding and manipulating the equal sign to generate 8 balanced equations for a given set of related numbers.

  • 5 + 6 = 11
  • 6 + 5 = 11
  • 11 - 5 = 6
  • 11 - 6 = 5
  • 11 = 5 + 6
  • 11 = 5 + 5
  • 5 = 11 - 6
  • 6 = 11 - 5
