Our classroom is really beginning to buzz as we get into the groove of our daily routine and start to dive into various content areas. We've been learning about the scientific method as we use water and Gatorade to grow grass on our window sill. Which will provide better nourishment for our grass? Stayed tuned for the results!
In social studies, our class has begun to learn about geography; we're studying globes, hemispheres, and latitude and longitude. Being familiar with the geography of the United States and the world helps to make sense of the migration patterns that we'll learn about later in the year.
After finishing up various assessments, reading has been all about comprehension strategies. Knowing how we can think about what we read helps us to think more effectively.
Calendar Math provides us with our daily "math vitamin" that really gets our heads working. It also helps with learning how to "write math". We've completed Chapter 1 on whole numbers and are moving into Chapter 2 which promises lots of practice with multiplication and division of multi-digit numbers. Make sure to have those times tables well under control.
Enjoy these beautiful first days of fall!
