HAPPY FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL!

WRITING 1 - introduced creative writing and telling stories. they brainstormed their own ideas and drew pictures of who their characters were and an idea for a plot. they all got along very well and were excellent listeners.

HISTORY 1 - reviewed continents, oceans and the globe. talked about different animals that live exclusively in different continents. they could all use more review identifying the continents and the oceans.

SCIENCE 3 - introduced the weather chart and reviewed types of weather. there is a very cool link in the lesson to see the Beaufort Scale in action. we'll finish making the scale tomorrow - it's used to measure wind speed. each day they need to record the weather in the morning afternoon and evening. there are other links in the lesson that they might want to explore.

It was a great first day!
