Hi! Can you believe it's November?! This year is going crazy fast! We learned about light this week. We have three new science words: opaque, translucent, transparent. We did an experiment to see if we can really see in the dark. We will finish up this unit next week.
READING AND LANGUAGE ARTS
We finished reading CHARLOTTE'S WEB. We did some activities that went with the book. We wrote about a friend in the room. We made orb webs and "spun" an adjective in our web that describes ourselves. We also made barns and wrote inside of them about the book's theme and the character traits. We will top off this wonderful story by visiting the UMaine barns on Tuesday. Bus leaves at 8:40. Feel free to join us!
MATH
We started Unit Four. It works with measuring. It does a lot with using various objects to measure, such as paper clips and base ten blocks. I will also add inches, centimeters and feet to the unit. We had fun going on a "hunt" in our room on Thursday. We then sorted the objects and added up points.
