And what better way to spend a Snow Day at home than Prodigy!

Remember:  MATH …. It’s everywhere

 

La lectura

This week we continued using our Russian folktale, La Sal, to create a class puppet show.

We also did a review of last week’s grammar focus: semi-colons, colons, commas and when to use them. I’ve heard lots of, “Oh, I always wondered when to use that.”  Lots of light bulbs going on for this topic!

I’ve challenged the students to work on their typing skills.  Snow days (should we have any…) are the perfect time to work on this!

TYPING CHALLENGE – Who will be our top 5 finishers by the end of February?

In part 2 of our Natural Resources investigation we focused on the earth resources that make up a very important material used for walkways, buildings, and bridges – concrete. We used local resources to make concrete stepping stones for a new school hopscotch.

Our focus question this week was: How are natural resources used to make concrete?
