Learning About Bar Graphs

Good afternoon!

This morning we started our day with a colour puzzle. We had 4 colours (blue, green, yellow, and red) to use and they could not touch each other in the puzzle. It was challenging, but it got our brains thinking for the day.

After gym, we came back and wrote a movie reflection of Maya and the Bee. We talked about things we liked, didn't like, and what we would change if we could. After recess, Ms. Zimmermann's class went to music, while Mr. Fisher's class worked on 'anchor sentences'. When we all got together before lunch, we got our new spelling words for the week.

Group 1:

more
store
stand
star
blew
flew
new
stone
sling
ring

Group 2:

cats
pigs
beds
bugs
tops
hill
bell
fell
ball
fall

After lunch, we did some quiet reading and tried to work on our spelling again. We didn't quite do well on that so we switched into math. We continued learning about bar graphs and how we make them. We didn't get to practice one of our own yet, but we made one as a class.


Some students were super excited to try this on their own, so that is something we encouraged for tonight. At the very least, talking about what goes into a graph could be helpful. We will continue working on graphing throughout the week.

REMINDERS:

Any students who were assigned homework by Ms. Zimmermann are required to have that back by Wednesday, March 2. No late work will be accepted. Homework was only required because students did not use class time wisely to finish it.
