In reading we finished learning about the characteristics of folktales. We learned about legends, myths, fairy tales, and fables. We have started learning how to summarize nonfiction text. We have read "The Hallelujah Flight", "Wolves", and "The Presidency". We learned that to summarize nonfiction text you need to use a main idea chart. Then you use the main idea and supporting details to make your paragraph.
In math we have been focusing on solving multiplication by using tables. We have discussed ways we will use multiplication in real life. Ask your child how they can use it in their life!!
In social studies we are using the cultural heritage interview to research our past. We are using what we learned to make cultural heritage dolls. Some things that we have learned are:
- Where are grandparents are from.
- The German flag's colors stand for a black eagle with red claws and beak and golden field.
- The Mexican flag's emblem is a bird on a cactus eating a snake.
- In France they eat snails called escargot.
MINUTE TO WIN IT!!!
Our review of our game is....
- J.E.- Devin and Maddie played "defying gravity"
- D.H.- We played breakfast scramble
- H. O.- Defying gravity was kind of hard
- D. J.- It was a fun game
- M.A.- Breakfast scramble was tricky
- A.R.- A Bit Dicey was really hard because if you move then the dice fall off the stick
-A.F.- When we did the puzzles I picked the Trait Words puzzle piece
- S.B.- I played defying gravity and it was fun because I have ninja like reflexes
- M.M.- It combined 2 of our favorite things, reading and games
-E.H.T- I liked the breakfast scramble because it was the front of a box I had not seen so it was difficult the first time. Then I memorized it and tried it again and got it
- B.W.- I played don't blow the kings. It was difficult because when you tried to blow the other cards off, the kings fell off too.

Dear Ms.Pair,
ReplyDeleteI liked everything about Minute to Win It. The games were hard to win but a lot of fun. My favorite game was the puzzle game. It might be good to have only one person write on the puzzle pieces for the book. It got confusing with everyone yelling and trying to do it together. This weekend I went to a snow day at a Christmas celebration in Llano. We go every year. Plus I am looking forward to going to a swim meet this weekend in San Antonio. I am enetered in the 50 free style, 50 breast stroke, 100 free style, 100 breast stroke, and my first time for the 200 free style. Thank you Ms. Pair for letting us play the game. You are the best teacher! Love, Abby S.
when are you going to post our next blog
