Reindeer Steam Activity
Learning New Things!
During the month of December, in Science, we have been working on a unit titled: Waves! We have learned about all different types of waves like light and sound waves. Over the next two weeks we will finish this unit and then begin a unit on our Earth's Layers. In Social Studies, we did a unit on Ancient Africa. Now we are beginning to learn about Ancient Greece.
Keeping On, Keeping On!
In reading we are finally finishing the novel, Bud, Not Buddy. This week and next we will be discussing Themes for this book and reading a poem, "IF" by Rudyard Kipling. We will compare and contrast how poems and stories are alike and different and how authors convey theme. Our next unit in math is about integers and graphing on a coordinate plane.
