Inquiry into Language:
We took up our similes homework together. To help us identify what two nouns were being compared, we underlined the simile part of the sentence. This helped us recognize that the first noun being compared was part of the sentence that wasn't underlined, and it was being compared to a noun in the underlined part (the simile). This helped us identify the comparison that was being made. We then went on to identifying the meaning behind metaphors. It's important for us to recognize when we use metaphors and similes in real life. I challenged the students to pay close attention to when their families, friends, teachers, etc. speak to them to try and identify when they use similes and metaphors through their communication. I hope they come to school with some examples that were used so that they see it is a part of our regular communication.
We explored books using our knowledge of non-fiction text features to help us locate specific information in the book. Questions were provided, and students had to use their table of contents, glossary, index, captions and labels to help them locate the information they needed to answer those questions. We learned when asked to "Define" something, this means to find it's definition/meaning.
Inquiry into Math/ Door Decorating Brainstorm
At the end of the day we brainstormed ideas as to how we are going to decorate our classroom door for the Door Decorating Challenge. We've come up with a plan to put into action tomorrow! Winner gets a Pizza Party. GOOOOO MS. FOTI'S CLASS!!
Once we finished brainstorming, we worked on an introduction activity to our new math unit with a partner. Our new unit is Fractions and Decimals.
AGENDA:
- UOI: Non-fiction book worksheet
- Language: metaphor worksheet
- Spelling test tomorrow
