Informational Writing -- Why Is It Important To Take Care of Our Teeth?

 ReadWorks -- Terrific Teeth

Monday, January 29th

Today in math we collected data based on how many pockets students were wearing. We organized the data using a tally chart. We then used the tally chart to create picture and bar graphs.

Today in reading workshop we worked on identifying the topic, main idea and support details in a text. We learned that the topic is usually found in the title. The main idea is the important part in the text and the supporting details are the important details usually found in the middle of the text.

Week in Review -- Jan. 16 - Jan. 19

Fruit Food Group

This week in Project Block students learned about the fruit food group. Students learned that fruits are high in Vitamin C which helps heal cuts and bruises. Students brainstormed all of the different fruits they knew. We also explored new fruits such as blood oranges and pomegranates. We also learned any food item with a seed / seeds is a fruit therefore cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, avocados, etc. are all technically fruits even though we commonly refer to them as vegetables.
