Now that October has arrived we are enjoying the cooler weather. We continued our study of the universe with learning about the phases of the moon. Did you see the Harvest Moon and the planet Mars on Thursday or Friday night? Another way we are learning about our earth is through a timeline of life. Students choose a plant or animal and recorded information from the timeline. This includes eras, periods, kingdoms, phylums, and changes in the crust. Also, they are identifying more land and water forms. Everyone is practicing math facts to improve memorization and faster recall. For geometry, our lessons have been terms for triangles. Equilateral, isosceles, scalene, acute, right, and obtuse maybe some new words you hear. Writing a narrative using the components of characters, setting, plot, editing, and final draft has been a focus that resulted in some fun stories. Looking forward to more writing fun in October with "Literary Pumpkins". Details next week. Have a good weekend.
