SCIENCE
Next week, we will begin discussing soil, its properties and uses.
Just in case anyone is wondering, it smells very "earthy" in our classroom right now :)
The kiddos love this unit and being able to play with dirt and rocks! I am hoping it does not rain a couple of days next week so we can make our lesson even more hands-on!
MATH
We continued our unit on numbers to 120. We will review place value, expanded form, and composing and decomposing a number but this time including the hundreds place. We used a lot of hands on materials to help us learn, including base ten blocks and place value mats and dice.
SOCIAL STUDIES
We also watched this video from the kid president: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xXZhXTFWnE
