Integrated Work for Star Wars Day
We did a few different activities today for Star Wars Day. We incorporated fractions, writing, alphabetical order, patterns with Legos, sentence skills, and math facts along with a whole lot of fun today.
Social Studies
We worked on Map Skills with a large culminating map of the United States and some of it's famous landmarks. These 3-D creations will be coming home soon~
Author's Purpose
This week we worked on author's purpose in Language Arts. The first skill, Persuasion, brought commercials for products. Students had 10 minutes to work on a pitch to sell a real life product (shampoo, toothpaste, window cleaner, etc.) and they presented.
They knocked it out of the park!!
The second day they worked on Informative by doing quick, easy research (the old fashioned way - with books!) and presented information on animals.
Next week we will continue working on Poetry and continue with purpose and Entertainment!
