Look What We are Learning!
Fluency
- Minus 0
Math Skill
- Quarter to, Quarter after, Half past, thirty minutes before
- Reading a thermometer
- Creating Bar-Type graphs from data that has been collected through a survey
Science
- The students enjoyed our experiments last week. We discussed ways we can continue watching and learning about the water cycle. They had "wondering" questions following our labs. We will be setting up more experiments to help with those burning questions. See if your child would like to set up their own water cyle at home. This can be done simply by placing water in a zip lock baggie filled half way with water and taping it to a window.
Social Studies
- We are making a graphic organizer representing our Local, State, and Federal Government.
- Quote of the week from one of our very own, following an introduction to the definition of government, "We need a new government." A few comments among the students following, a little chuckle from the teacher, and on we went. I promise, I only teach the facts, people, they generate their own opinions. :)
