Looking Back

Language Arts

  • Learned about prefixes (-un, - pre, -re)

  • Finished planning and are almost finished writing our stories

Math

  • Continued to talk about measurement

    • Used a ruler to measure items (including our plants!) in cm

    • Found some ‘nature’s rulers’ outside and measured chalk lines with things we found in nature

    • Did some shape art by tracing shapes and using transformations to make interesting patterns



Science

  • Talked about the Scientific Method and set up an experiment to see what plants need

    • Planted 3 seeds - one without soil, one without light and one without water


  • Started to learn about a coding program called Scratch Jr. and practiced some lessons on the ipads

  • Went out and found a ‘sit spot’ to use our senses and observe things in nature

Looking ahead
