We have been reading Muggie Maggie this week. It's about a girl who doesn't want to learn cursive. We have started cursive and most of us like it.
We have been learning how to subtract using a number line. One day this week, we gave each other subtraction problems to solve by using a number line. We used white boards and markers to practice this.
In language, we've been learning about subjects and predicates. A subject is the noun in the sentence, and the predicate is the verb in the sentence. We did an activity where we wrote down a subject and then passed it to our neighbor, so they could write the predicate.
The class has been learning about the three states and physical properties of matter. We pretended we were the atoms in solids, liquids, and gases. In a solid, the atoms are really close together, they can barely move. In liquids, the atoms are able to slide by each other. In gases, they bounce around until they hit something that makes them go in another direction.
On Tuesday, Coach Rogers brought a Hornworm from his garden. It was eating everything in his garden. He brought it to school and displayed it in the fifth grade hall, so we could all see it. He is green, very chubby, and will soon turn into a moth.
Our book buddies are kindergarteners in Mrs. Spradley's class. We go visit them every Friday and do some kind of activity with them.
We need to bring a pumpkin by October 29th.
