Other things we are working on...
This week we are reviewing our Nouns and Verbs. The learners are working together to discover these different forms of words in books they read and in their writing. Today we worked together to list as many nouns as we could in 5 minutes! We created a tree map and categorized nouns by person, place or thing. Some of the groups came up with more than 30!
ELAR
We are focusing on learning all about Martin Luther King Jr. We are learning the ways that we can gather information about historical figures like MLK on the internet, through fiction books, and through biographies! We are out of school to celebrate the life of MLK on Monday, and it is important to understand why this is a national holiday.
Math
This week in math we are focused on using subtraction in word problems. We have been practicing how to find the clues in word problems to figure out how to solve them. Clues such as facts, key words (more than, fewer, left).
Stay tuned for our next IB Mission post tomorrow!!
