This week we've been learning all about polar animals. On Monday we started learning about the specific animals that live in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. On Tuesday morning students worked to sort polar animals into the correct regions.
In the afternoon on Tuesday we began learning more specifically about polar bears. We started by reading a non-fiction article and then highlighting important information in order to prove our answers to the comprehension questions.
Then students worked together with a partner to label the different parts of a polar bear.
On Wednesday we worked together as a class to brainstorm a list of things that polar bears can do, have, and are.
Later in the day students worked with a partner to create polar bear fact notecards.
Finally we used all the information we had gathered to write non-fiction pieces about polar bears. Here's a few samples of the work students did.
On Thursday students completed their projects by making special polar bears to hold their writing. The projects are now on display out in the hallway.
In the afternoon on Thursday we started learning about penguins. We read several non-fiction books and then followed directions to draw and label our own penguins.
In math we have been learning about making and taking apart numbers. On Tuesday students used dobber markers to create different combinations to make 5.
In library this week students had a chance to practice their computer coding skills in library with Ms. Zbacnik. They had learned a lot while having lots of fun!
