Good day for the Ks, not so much for the 4 added distractions (Ilaiza, Ryan, Joshua, and Alex). The lesson was easy andthey picked up on it really well.
Science - we talked about weight and capacity, comparing sizes of containers and how different things have different weight. As a team they were able to put 5 cups of water with differing amounts in 1-5 order, in no time. We took 5 containers and tried to put them in order by guessing how much they would hold. We took a big ball of foil and guessed whether it or a pear, which was smaller than it, was heaver. All but one guessed lighter. They understand the heavier, lighter and holds less and more really well.
History- we talked about the pampas (grasslands), compared them to the savanah in Africa. We read a story about a gaucho (cowboy), made a lasso flip book,, looked at South America in the atlas (tango, lahmas). I told them about Nadia's Ato (grandfather who lives in Colombia half the time switch back and forth was the term, and they understood it from knowing how to share, - how he takes a siesta everyday). They remembered where the Amazon River and rain forest, Brazil and Andes Mountains are.
They had fun. They went out front for a while (checking out a hurt bird Josh found yesterday) and out back we saw a "real crane" that was working on the road.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone!!!
