Curriculum
Reading:
We started Unit 6: Extreme Environments. We are learning all about the hottest, coldest, deepest, and highest places on earth! We are learning how animals and plants survive and adapt in these extreme habitats.
Science:
We are learning all about metamorphosis, We now know how caterpillars undergo complete metamorphosis to change into a butterfly. We also learned all about the body parts of both the caterpillar and butterfly. We will be exploring how butterflies use camoflage to protect themselves from predators.
Writing:
We have been hard at work publishing our very special Mother’s Day writing! Look for a special delivery this Sunday!
Math:
Our ninth unit concentrates on multi-digit multiplication using a variety of different methods, such as partial products, lattice, and traditional methods. We are also working on division and sharing money.
It is very important that the children still practice their multiplication facts at home!
A few of the Excellent Enrichment Projects! The children did a WONDERFUL job. I very much enjoyed listening to their unique and creative presentations.
