Science
Today we started to discuss and plan a class magazine for our final science project on Animal Life Cycles. Each student today chose a different animal from the wild, and will complete some pages to put into a class magazine. They need to include a drawn picture of their animal (this will be done in-class later in the week), information on their animal's habitat and life cycle, as well as any information on adaptions, migration, or camouflage their animal might have or use. They will also include 5 interesting facts about their animal.
We are still brainstorm ways to publish our magazine, stay tuned for more info!
Language Arts
Today we focused on word work, and worked the word families "-ot", "-ow" (eg. cow), and "-ow" (eg. row). Special focus was paid attention to the differences between the last two word groups. Word work allows us to practice our writing skills by looking at things such as word families and groups, blending sounds, and vowel combinations. This will improve our reading and writing skills!
Math
We continued to challenge our thinking of place values, and looked at this problem solving question today:
What do you know and what can you find out about the number 180?
Ask your child what they found out about 180! Have them show you at home all their possible answers.
