What's In the Bag?

   


Students were able to apply their knowledge of making inferences to this "What's In the Bag?" activity.  Students then used their inference to summarize the citizen's profession with details.  


On Display



Students were able to make their own anchor chart of the multiplication properties: identity, zero, and distributive.  Having the vocabulary terms on display is a great visual, created by students, to impact meaningful learning! 

Practical Prefixes!


Students were able to organize their learning of prefixes (a word part added to the beginning of a word to make a new word) into a fun foldable!  Prefixes are on the front, their meaning on the inside blue flap, and examples are on the orange paper underneath the blue flap.  This is a great way for students to really engage, apply, remember, and share prefixes!

Proverbs 4:11-13


What beautiful truth, and I pray you are encouraged today through it!

Chain, Chain, Chain


Linking verbs connect, or link, the subject to the predicate in a sentence and they usually don't show action.  Students were able to identify the subject, linking verb, and predicate in a sentence.  Then students were able to write the subject and predicate on a yellow strip of paper.  The linking verb was written on a green strip of paper.  We "linked" the subject and predicate together with the linking verb - creating a chain sentence!  

Order! Order!


Yes, you've guessed it!  We did more sequencing practice today.  Students were able to work with a partner to identify, discuss, sequence, and describe in writing the chronological order of these pictures.  What a great reinforcement activity of learned skills in Unit 3.  Excellent work students! 

Fun with Spelling!





To review Unit 3 spelling words, students used shaving cream and their finger to spell the words on their desks.  What a blast!
