In math, we started our topic on 2D shapes. We learned how many straight sides and how many vertices each basic shape has. We discussed closed shapes and that we define a shape's name by the number of sides and vertices, not what color or size a shape is.
In reading, we focused on: How do people work with animals? We read stories called Puppy to Guide Dog, Koko & Penny, Saving Mountain Gorillas, and A New Puppy. Then, we sequenced the events in the stories in order from: first, next, then, and last. These stories helped us read the new phonics "long e" sound and spelling: ey (as in key) and y ( as in berry). We learned the HFWords found, hard, near, woman, would, write.
In science and writing, we completed out unit on insect by learning the different adaptations of animals and how these adaptations help them survive in nature. We invented our own insects and included the major body parts of insects. We wrote an informative paragraph about our insects and the students had to come up with their own topic and closing sentences. They had to include at least 3 facts in their paragraph to describe their bugs.
