Land of READ-A-LOT
Maidens and Lords have been gearing up for an author study! They have been building schema on Patricia Polacco, a famous children's author and illustrator. We will be completing this unit over the next several weeks. We will be exploring the themes, settings, characters and plots of several of her books so we can deepen our understanding of comparing and contrasting!!
Missions in Math
The Kingdom worked hard on the properties of multiplication this week!! We made layer books and used manipulatives to deepen our understanding of why there are properties and how they help us mentally solve equations!
Soaring in Science
Our Kingdoms finished the story, Galya and Natasha's Rock Adventure. We are understanding the Engineering Design Process and will need this knowledge as we move forward next week and start to analyze two different materials!!
WRITING that is Worthwhile
Our Maidens and Lords worked very hard writing organized paragraphs which gave detailed information that explained a personal learning experience. We look forward to reading and commenting on their wonderful writing experience.
