What Are We Doing in Math?
Small Groups
For small groups we are focusing on lines and angles. One of the activities that we worked on in class was identifying lines and angles within our names. Latianna and Je'niyah are showing off their names where they found rays, line segments, acute angles, obtuse angles, and many more types of lines and angles.
Latianna
Latianna identified acute, obtuse, and right angles in her name. She also saw a point, line, line segment and a ray. Great job Latianna!
Hard at Work
Je'niyah was hard at work completing her name.
Je'niyah
Je'Nita's identified right, acute, and obtuse angles in her name. She also saw a ray, line segment, line and a point. Fantastic job Je'niyah!
What Are We Doing in Science?
Our Moon Phases
We have been working on the different phases of the moon and how we only see one side of the moon here on Earth. For our bulletin board this month we created a calendar that shows the phases the moon will go through during the month of March.
Carl
Carl did a fantastic job on his phases of the moon calendar. Stacie also identified why we only see one side of the moon from Earth. Great observations!
Our Moon Phases
For the bulletin board we created a our own moon phases using foam balls. Students colored in their moon phases for the month of March using white crayons and then colored in their astronaut to be hung up.
Stacie
Stacie colored in her moon phases for the month of March and then identified at least one day where we could see each phase of the moon. Di'Jon explained how on March 28th we will experience a new moon because the moon will be between the sun and Earth. Fantastic job!
Our Field Trip to the World of Nations
Ms. Blume's Group Experience in Vietnam
My group had an exciting adventure when we went to visit Vietnam at the World of Nations. One of the gentlemans there was kind enough to allow the group to be the dragon as a part of their ritual, the dragon dance. We then had a few students play the drums and saw names being written in Vietnamese.
Allan
Allan enjoyed playing the drums in Vietnam.
The Group
My group had the pleasure of being the dragon in Vietnam. Dan'yelle, Allan, Justin, Sant'erio, and Bryanna.
Sant'erio
Sant'erio was the head of our dragon and was in charge of leading the group.
