We had a great start to our week! We will not have a regular literacy block due to the state testing. Instead, we read How to Lift a Lion and talked about simple machines. Students are very excited about this topic. They began reading the chapter book Gadget War with their PEA Reading Buddies today as well.
Brain Gym was advantageous this morning. Students practiced starfish, finger and skull tapping, planks, and Sun Salutations. They finished with Cosmic Kids Bunny Bounce and Green Frog.
We will not have homework this week due to the SAS testing. However, we will begin Unit 7 in math today. All assignments will be done during class time. Our learning objectives involve estimating and measuring liquid volumes, identifying equal shares and equivalent fractions, solving number stories involving time, mass, volume and length, and partitioning fraction strips to compare and name fractions.
I'm hopeful that students will be well rested for the testing on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings. Healthy snacks and water bottles would also be helpful for students.
Have a wonderful week! :)
