Students will listen to the book The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires and then collaboratively work together to make a doll that talks using the Scratch program and a Makey Makey. (These two tools were introduced and taught prior to this lesson.)
Students work in teams to follow criteria and constraints to design their own container that holds pompoms (popcorn). When this is completed they need to test and record how many pom-poms their container will hold. Students find that counting and organizing groups of ten is the best way to do this. They record their information on a data analysis sheet and the following day they compare their numbers and amounts.
Students will listen to the word spoken, move the dots to represent each sound in the word to the sound box, and spell the word, ad move the letter tile to the sound in each box. Students will move the heart over the tricky (heart) part of the word.
Students will use strategies to create 3 addends that equal to 100.
Students will demonstrate fluency with addition, within 100, by flexibly using strategies based on place value. Students will also solve problems involving dollars.
Students will learn about the life cycle of a butterfly.
Students will measure footprints to determine how much longer one is than the other using 2 different units of measure.
Students will label an analog clock to the nearest 5 minutes, represent time by drawing hands on the clock, and determine if the time of day is a.m. or p.m.
