Students continue to review what we have learned so far in math.
In language, students finished up research on their landform. Then they wrote a story about Flat Stanley visiting their landform. After that, they made a Flat Stanley picture to go with their story. Finally, they will be typing it in the app Bookwriter and we will have a 3 class books about landforms and the continents they are located on. We were really busy today and working hard.
In religion, we are working on forgiveness and that God is the only one who can forgive our sins. The priests are given the power to forgive by God when they become priests. They also made a Reconciliation booklet so they can review before going to Confession.
In science, we talked about different kinds of clouds. They are also to find out if it's going to rain tomorrow. We will use our rain gauge to measure any rain we receive.
Don't forget we have the field trip to see "Flat Stanley" on Monday. We will be back for lunch. It is a morning field trip. Uniforms are to be worn.

Happy New Year! Welcome back!
Today we eased back into the routine. In math, it's time to get back to practicing math facts, including multiplication 5's, 2's, and 10's, on IXL.com. In class, students began a new unit on mass using kilograms, grams, ounces and pounds.
In language, we talked about making new year's resolutions and they wrote their own.
They also wrote a short story about being stuck in a snow globe. This will be a project they will be working on for a couple of days.
In science, I read students a story about Winston Bentley, "Snowflake Bentley". He was famous for studying and photographing all kinds of snowflakes. Then students made paper snowflakes.
Students did go to Atrium. Those that stayed back worked on their American history timelines by adding the Pilgrims and Independence Day.
I did send out sign up geniuses for Art and Atrium. If for some reason you did not receive an invitation, please let me know. I did send it out twice to make sure everyone got at least one.
