The students continue to work on procedural writing in our Language program. We started the unit by doing procedures together as a class and small groups and moving towards independent work. Last week, the students created a procedure on how to make ice-cream. Yes, the students made real ice-cream AND it was delicious. They learned the importance in being specific in their steps. Ask your child why they needed to be specific in our procedure on how to make ice-cream. In Math, the students continue to measurie the length of different objects using non-standard units of measure, such as their own hands and feet, cubelinks, and paper clips. We have been estimating the measurement and then finding out the actual. A few things they have measured books, desks, their feet/arms, and name tags.
