We used the anchor charts as we read several stories and books aloud, discussing their purpose and point of view. First, we used a slideshow that I made to introduce author's point of view. Click the first picture to download!
This short presentation was for practice in small group reading stations the next day.
I also found a fun battleship game online to practice author's purpose. (I did NOT make this), but click the first picture to link to the website.
In stations we played this really cute author's purpose game, which you can download by clicking the picture. I did NOT make this game, but I'm a big fan!
For grammar we were talking about subject and predicate and I found this really fun song on youtube. Click the picture for the link! We also did some sorting activities, a couple of worksheets, and took an eInstruction quiz.
In math we continued working on multiplication. We kept singing our multiples songs and practicing all of our skip counting. We also took a few more "quizzes" toward earning our ice cream sundaes. Everyone is doing very well with this incentive! My favorite activity was yesterday when we made these multiplication monsters. One of my teammates found this activity on TPT and it was so much fun! Click here to find it yourself.
First the kids rolled double die to make multiplication sentences and found the products of each. These corresponded with the number of eyes, fangs, arms, legs, and horns that their monster would have. Then, the real fun began!
For Social Studies we discussed the history and traditions of Thanksgiving. I found this cute slideshow online (I did NOT create it myself). Click the picture to download your own copy. Then they journaled about their own traditions. We also read several books and did a cute Thanksgiving packet.
Science was so much fun this week! First, we did vocabulary to start off our unit on physics. Click the picture below to download your own copy of my slideshow!
The next couple of days we did a really fun physics lab. The first day, the kids released matchbox cars from different heights up a ramp and measured the distance that they traveled. The next day, the kids measured how far the cars traveled from their ramp when it was covered with carpet, sandpaper, and aluminum foil (to explore friction).

It was a fun week, and all of us are ready to enjoy a 9 day break starting today! Happy Thanksgiving!
