📕 Poetry:
The Swing
by Robert Louis Stevenson
How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing,
Ever a child can do!
Up in the air and over the wall,
Till I can see so wide,
Rivers and trees and cattle and all,
Over the countryside –
Till I look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof so brown –
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!
📕 SAYINGS: "The Land of Nod"
📕 Math: We wrapped up our Chapter on Length and had a Chapter Test. Next week, we will have a cumulative test on addition, subtraction and length. The students have brought home / will bring home their first set of Math books and begin using our new set next week.
📕 History: Students started learning about the Early Exploration of the Americas this week. They learned about the explorer, Christopher Columbus, as well as the other conquistadors who conquered the land of the Mayans, Aztecs and Incas, or the Early Americas.
📕 Science: We began our big ocean unit this week! The students reviewed the different oceans around the world. They also learned about the different layers of the ocean, and created a chart about the layers. Finally, they started a foldable "All About Oceans". We talked about high and low tides, and how gravitational attractions work on the oceans.
Have a great week!
