Oceans of Fun!

We reviewed animal characteristics and created a Venn Diagram to compare/contrast Great White Sharks with Orca Whales. Then students created their own.

We acted out Hungry Shark and practiced subtraction stories. Then we played a game with goldfish crackers where we spun the fish spinner to determine the number of goldfish we need and then spun the shark spinner to determine how many fish were eaten. Then we wrote the subtraction sentences.

We read In The Deep Blue Sea by Deanna Jump. We created a tree map of adjectives, nouns, and verbs from the story. Then students responded through writing by using the pattern from the story.

Wild Things

After field day, we read Where the Wild Things Are. We reviewed describing words and talked with our partners about adjectives for the Wild Things. We created a circle map.

We we decorated our own Wild Things.



We created a Venn Diagram to compare/contrast our Wild Thing with our partner's.

We created positional patterns using our Wild Things. Then will illustrated and labeled a Wild Thing positional pattern on a sentence strip. We watched the Scholastic video Where the Wild Things Are. Then we reviewed actions words and created a circle map of things our Wild Things can do.

Then we wrote a sentence about what our Wild Things can do.
