The Grinch Fieldtrip
Language Arts/Writing
This week we spent time enjoying ourselves with a variety of holiday language activities: categorizing nouns, painting our stories with strong adjectives, and reading with inflection. We also snuck in a little sentence writing practice with a given main idea with a note of gifts to make the Grinch happy,
Math
This week we measured using alternative units such as jingle bells and worked on our word problem solving skills. We practice our math facts to solve holiday coloring puzzles and just had a great time practicing our skills during a busy holiday week.
Science
This week we focused on how our bodies react to stress and what to do about it in order to prepare for our Winter Break. We also practice our STEM skills by engineering a gingerbread man trap. There are some incredible ideas being built!
