In math, we now have a break time, usually 10 minutes, where we play a quick math game or have a Math Chat where we partner up and discuss math topics. And we recently did a project: designing a flower bed, building an aquarium, or making the school lunch program. I chose to design a flower bed and our group won for the best flower bed design. It was really fun to make and figure out what to buy with a budget of $500.
In science we had to make a presentation about a biome, which is an area of land that have certain plants, animals, temperatures, amount of light, soil, and water. My biome was a taiga, which is the biome that Alaska is. The most fun part was adding animations and pictures to the Power Point. = )
In language arts we learned things like using context clues to figure out what a word means and a character’s flaw. We usually read 10-20 minutes during this time. Now we don’t really have language arts because we practice for WKCE testing during that time.
In social studies we are learning about Mesopotamia, an ancient civilization around the area where Iraq is right now. It’s also called the Fertile Crescent.
