Language Arts~
No spelling test and no weekly homework packet this week. We are continuing our focus on Greek myths. Today our focus was on a nature myth that explains the change in seasons. It seemed fitting that we went from nice summer weather to cold dreary weather over the weekend. We learned about Persephone and why she spends part of the year in the underworld. We watched a short cartoon that told the story, then we read the story together and completed a story map about the myth. Finally we read another version of the story and filled out a worksheet.
HW: Finish up the worksheet if you are not done.
Math~
Today we took an imaginary trip to Egypt. We practiced finding information in charts, maps and graphs. We also reviewed the different types of parallelograms. The kids needed to do a parallelogram worksheet and then do math boxes and study link 3.6.
HW: Study Link 3.6
Science~
All students should have the study guide for the next test. Content 1 (those who had Science on Friday) have their test on Monday, October 22. Content 2 (Science today) have their test on Tuesday, October 23. Today we learned about interactions in a community. We learned about producers and consumers. We also learned about 4 different types of consumers: herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and decomposers.
