We had a busy, busy day. We wrote our spelling words
in alphabetical order for morning work.
We took our STAR reading test today. The results will
come home in next week's Wednesday's folder.
We also read a nonfiction book I just ordered about
reindeer. It was wonderful. It is one of Scholastic's science readers,
and it is written below a third grade level, as a book should be when we are
concentrating on the content. Ask your child about this book. They
loved it. Many didn't realize that reindeer were real. I had also written
a research-type quiz to go along with it. They had to answer several
different type of questions. They also had to refer to different sections
of the book.
In math we worked on counting money and whether or not a
given amount was less than, equal to, or greater than $5.00.
We took a spelling test! We have had trouble getting
those in lately, but we did it today.
We also got to do science! Yay! We made
sandwiches to represent the different layers in the earth. Since Oklahoma
has been under water 3 times that historians know of, we used 3 different types
of bread for the 3 layers. We measured them. Then we placed them
under something heavy, as now we have to simulate pressure and time. We
will take them out on Monday and take a core sample, as well as measure the
height. We measured the height after making them today.
Book orders are due next Wednesday!
