Questioning in Reading

Over the last week we have been hard at work with our new reading skill: Questioning! The students are all working hard on coming up with questions for Before, During and After reading. Tonight you will see your child's book covered with post it notes. They are labeled B, D, and A. They are to come up with a question for each post it note based on the part of the story they are on. "Before, During, and After." Help your child best by helping them come up with "deeper" questions. Questions such as "what happened at the beginning" is a very basic question. We are working towards getting deeper questions such as "How did the character feel during this part of the story? Why did the character feel this way? Can you think of a time when you felt this way?"

Questions that we all think to ourselves in our head while we read, but don't say out loud is what we are working on. Things that you "wonder" or connect with is what we are striving for.

The Constitution

Last week in class we started our new unit of study in Social Studies over Government. We have been discussing the local, state and federal levels of government. While we discussed these we also discussed where our laws "come from" and what they are based off of. This comes from The Constitution of the United States. Here are some pictures of our class signing and creating our own class constitution to follow.

Pumpkin Math

Today we took our math skills and applied them to counting pumpkin seeds inside a pumpkin. The students first took all the seeds and "gunk" out of the inside. Then they grouped the seeds into groups of 10's and then into groups of 100's. This allowed us to see how many we had! The pumpkins had 474; 513; 458; and 475. After all the counting was done it was off to apply our knowledge to some of our place value skills. We had a lot of fun!

Making Sounds

Today in class we had a blast making "sound" by creating duck sounds using a styrofoam cup, string, sponge and paper clip. Here is a peek into the fun!
