We're finally getting into a solid routine now that we have five consecutive days in the classroom this week.
In Social Studies we used Google Maps and music from around the world to help us find locations in an atlas using latitude and longitude. We learned how maps have changed over time and now we are also learning all about the Vikings.
In Reading, we are learning about story elements and applying them to books by Jerry Spinelli. We are also learning about different parts of speech and adding words to our word wall (our most recent words are diligent and propaganda-ask your child what they mean!)
In Science, we are learning how to use the Scientific Method and create a controlled experiment. We'll be creating our own pendulums to test various hypotheses about what can change the number of swings our pendulums makes in a set time.
In Math, we have been switching classes and learning basic Algebra by using cross number puzzles and input/output tables.
In Writing, we are choosing small moments from our lives and turning them into Personal Narratives. We will eb learning how to write strong leads and add dialog later this week.
We also will be meeting our kindergarten buddies on Thursday!
We have a FANTASTIC group of kids-I am so excited to get up each morning and learn with them!
