Last week in Math, we began Unit 3 which is on word problems, addition and subtraction, counting sets of objects, and finding multiple combinations of a number. In Science, we continued our study of rocks. In Social Studies we emphasized the character trait, responsibility by learining about Clara Barton and Eleanor Roosevelt. We did a lesson that integrated math and science called "Spinning Ghosts." The students had to predict which paper ghost would spin and we graphed their predictions. Then they got to make a spinning ghost of their own and we learned how the air pushing against the arms forced our ghosts to spin.
On a more personal note, I took a tumble of my own. I tripped while walking to my car and dislocated a couple of fingers and banged myself up a bit. I just thought I'd let you know in case you heard anything from your child. I missed half of today and I will miss half of next Monday to go to the hand doctor. Today's sub told me that the kids did a great job!
The Vivace singers from CHS sang The Star Spangled Banner and performed Thriller at Round-Up
Amav was chosen to participate in the Bat Fact Game at Round-Up
Dot Addition..We tried to find combinations of dot cards that would add up to a certain number. Thhen we recorded our combinations on paper.
After reading Everybody Needs a Rock, we brought rocks from home. We washed them and sorted them by attributes in table groups. We then filled out a chart about our rocks telling about their color, luster, hardness and what made our rocks special.
