Today we reviewed our CUPS poster to help the girls understand what makes a sentence. As a whole group, the girls made complete sentences from words that had been cut up and scattered. They had to make sure that each sentence started with a Capital letter, they Understood it, it had Punctuation at the end, and the words were Spaced evenly.
The girls were then paired up and returned to their seats to sort phrases and sentences into two categories: "sentence" and "not a sentence".
We began our new science unit on nutrition. We read the book Me and My Amazing Body and discussed how different foods impact our bodies and minds. The girls brainstormed a list of foods that were both "good choices" and "sometimes foods" for their bodies and collaborated together to determine how to sort each food.
