HEAVIER THAN, LIGHTER THAN, ABOUT THE SAME
AS: Our lesson the week reinforced the idea of how a seesaw is positioned to
determine the weight. We learned ‘different’ items can be the same size, same
color, or have the same amount on a scale, and NOT determine which one in
heavier or lighter than.

You may be wondering why all the other
grades had math this week, and second grade had language arts. We had to switch
around our HA days in second grade to help with schedules. I hope you all
received my note from your children on Wednesday, if not here is a quick recap.
I know last week was a lot! I will be slowing down my lesson plans so not as
much work will be sent home. On Wednesday, we went over our chapter one
questions and gave everyone a chance to answer and ask questions. Tuesday we
finished a vocabulary map on the word “journey”. We discussed how a “map” is
something that can lead us in a direction. The vocabulary map was to lead us into
a better understanding of the word, “journey”.

IN SEARCH OF THE YETI: On Wednesday we read
a story about the Yeti in the Himalayas! The story consisted of large measurements
we tried to relate to everyday items. A Yeti was spotted 300 yards away. While
we figured 300 yards was 3 football fields, we measured the 3rd and
4th grade hallway to get an “everyday” perspective. The hallway was
less than 1 football field.

SOME, ALL, or NONE: This worksheet lasted
both days for us. The objective was to examine the relationship among various
shapes. Example, True or False, all squares are rectangles? This question gave
us some trouble, rightfully so! I did not want to cut discussion early until
EVERYONE could grasp why a square is always a rectangle, but a rectangle is NOT
always a square. Same issue came with up with rhombi and squares as well. I
believe we got it!! If not, we’ll hit it
again next week with another activity. ;)
