Curriculum Corner
Here's what the campers will be learning in the week ahead...
Math The unit 1 math test went very well! They'll be coming home in this Friday's "go-home" folders. We'll be launching into Unit 2: Multiplication and Geometry. We'll be starting by studying area and comparing different 2D shapes.
Writing We'll be writing writers notebook entries about our Camp T adventures and working on short instructional paragraphs about how to live like a pioneer. We'll be using these entries in our next unit: narrative accounts.
Language Wordly Wise Lesson 3 starts Monday. They'll be reviewing definitions and creating word PE "signs" to go with each meaning and using words in context. Lesson three words: approach, burrow, cease, destructive, drowsy, famished, forecast, hibernate, migrate, nestle, observe, prepare, reduce, severe, venture. The lesson 3 test will be 9/30.
Reading We will continue reading Little House on the Prairie this week in our eagerness to learn all things pioneer! We are learning to make and follow hunches as we read and collect evidence to support them. We are also reviewing the reading skills of predicting and questioning.
Indiana History Last week's Camp T adventure gave us some first hand learning on life for some of Indiana's first people. This week we'll use this knowledge to spring into our investigation into the native american tribes in the area and how they lived.
Science Back to our "Science Friday", we'll be learning how our Earth changes through landslides, erosion and deposition this week.
