SCIENCE
Last week we started our unit on energy. We began by looking for sources of energy in our classroom. We will be learning all about heat, light and sound energy up until our Christmas break. This week's focus was heat energy. We did an experiment to see if butter would melt faster under our lamp or in the shade. We learned that heat causes some objects to change states of matter. Challenge your student to find examples of sources of light and heat energy in your home and around you! Next week, we will be learning about sound energy.
SOCIAL STUDIES
In Social Studies we started our holidays around the world unit! We have been learning about where the country is located, drawing their flag, and learning all about their holiday traditions! We will finish up by completing a fun craft! So far, we have traveled to Italy and Mexico! Next week, we will be discussing England and Israel.
