Week in Review
We learned all about pronouns this week!
We had a lot of practice with identifying pronouns, finding them in sentences, and writing sentences to include pronouns.
We also did a fun Stand Up, Hand Up, Pair Up with pictures of students in our class! The kids worked in pairs to read the sentence, "kick out the names," and replace them with pronouns.
In math, we kicked off our ten more/ten less review by building a massive hundreds chart. The key was that we weren't just starting at 1 and counting forward. Instead, we focused on the patterns of numbers and built our chart in columns rather than rows.
We also did some broken hundreds chart practice with our groups.
During Reading and Writing this week, we focused on famous African American Achievers! The kids were challenged to make connections between texts, pull out important information, and write about their amazing achievements.
We used Brainpop Jr. to learn about George Washington Carver
Another GREAT resource is PebbleGo. We learned about Frederick Douglass through their website.
We read about Ruby Bridges
