Spelling: We completed lesson 13 in our spelling books where students learned words with "L and R" blends.

Vocabulary: Students played " CATEGORIES" where they sorted words in the write categories (nouns, verbs or adjectives), and the first team to finish won!



Grammar/ Writing: Yesterday we reviewed compound sentences, and  then students completed a worksheet where they sorted simple and compound sentences independently.



Today students maintained stamina during WORK ON WRITING, and their task was to write 5 compound sentences.

Math: Students learned about PICTOGRAPHS. They wrote down the purpose of pictographs in their journals, and they each made their own pictograph.

Students worked independently to complete a worksheet on pictographs.

Today we worked in groups to show the different weather we had in April. Each group took a calendar that shows the different weather in April, they worked together to make a tally chart and a pictograph. Then, they answered questions about their pictograph.
