Inquiry into Language
Students began to work on their spelling lesson in their notebooks for about 15 minutes. Students then completed a language Earth Day activity which talks about why we celebrate Earth Day. We discussed a variety of things we can do to help care for the Earth.
RECESS/ LUNCH
Inquiry into Math
We reviewed the concepts of symmetry through shape folding. Students worked in groups to determine how many lines of symmetry each shape has. Once all groups were finished, we had a class discussion about the lines of symmetry in each shape by having the students that worked on those shapes share how many lines of symmetry they found. This created for some great dialogue as there were a couple disagreements. We then moved on to looking at the 3 transformations we will be focusing on in this unit: translations, reflections and rotations. As a class we reviewed what each of these mean, then we watched a video to enhance this understanding. Students worked on a notebook activity, then had a worksheet to complete for homework. Tomorrow we will be going in depth on reflections.
