What does Learning Look Like?

In our classroom, we love to share our learning with others. Here are a few snapshots of us learning in class today.

Most Mondays, we receive new words that follow a certain pattern. In two of the pictures below we are sorting our new words. Next, you can see us chatting about some things we’ve learned about Texas where are penpals live.

In another snapshot, Mrs. S captured us using the laptops to comment on blogs. Authentic writing opportunities can be a lot of fun! We can’t wait to write letters to our penpals and receive letters in return. Perhaps even a Skype date is in the plans, too!

Finally, in Math, we’ve been learning about how to gather data, display the results in a graph, and make sense of what it all means. Today, Mrs. S surveyed the class about screen time and we helped to put a bar graph together of the data. We are making our own survey questions and will be working with Mrs. Valente’s class to get answers to our questions next week.

Word Study Week of Nov 6

Each Monday I will post pictures of our Word Study words for your reference 🙂

Each word study group is different. After the lesson, students copy the sorts into their notebooks. On Monday nights, students are asked to sort the words again, taking their words out of their bags, and writing the words AGAIN in their notebooks with the appropriate categories written at the top. They should check to ensure all words are spelled correctly.
