In Math, we are doing ALEKS. We get to do a bunch of different topics whenever we want. It’s a lot of fun because you can work at your own pace and we are mastering a bunch of different things. We are all at our own level, so then no one is slacking or skipping ahead. Also, we are getting a lot of work time instead of trying to check homework the whole time.
In social studies, we are learning about the geography of Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia is an area of land where present day Iraq and Israel are. Mesopotamia has very fertile land and is located right off the coast of Africa, right by Egypt.
In FCE, we are just finishing up, and then we move on to Tech Ed. But we are almost done with our babysitting unit. On Wednesday, we are going to use computerized babies, and watch them like they are real infants. Earlier in FCE, we were doing our pillows. We learned 3 different kinds of stitches and we got to make our pillows however we wanted. But then we went on to babysitting because we finished.
Science- Recently in science, we have made a presentation on a chosen biome. We could choose tropical rainforest, desert, temperate forest, tundra and the taiga. Right now we are learning more and more about each biome, because everyone is presenting their masterpiece.
L.A. - In Language Arts we have been working on many things to improve our writing and reading strategies. We have wrote our Personal Narratives pieces and are adding details or taking away unwanted sentences to make them better. During Reader’s Workshop we have been using topics/ strategies to analyze our books and characters.
Band- Even though it is only the very end of October, we have already started rehearsing our holiday music. Our song selection is Auld Tannenbaum, Tango Bells, Simple Gifts of Christmas, Hanukkah Celebration and Countdown to Christmas.
