We spent some time on Word Work this morning and deriving meaning from root words (and making connections between words). We also introduced and discussed the imaginary grid on a map or globe as lines of longitude and latitude. We watched a BrainPop video to help teach us about these concepts.
BLOG QUESTION: Tell us two things you learned about latitude and longitude from our discussion and/or BrainPop video today!
We had a good discussion today about "what good writers do." The kids came with lots of great ideas. We started experimenting with SENSORY IMAGERY today, describing what we see, hear, smell, taste and touch to add description and detail to our writing.
