Wed. 8-20

WRITING 3 - They worked on making lists of descriptive words. They were disappointed that we weren't working on their stories, but I told them we have other projects to do that will help with their stories. It didn't go over very well...

HISTORY 3 - Unit 2 Lesson 1. Learned that Renaissance mean "rebirth" and that it was a time of renewal after the Middle Ages. People looked back to Greece and Rome for inspiration in the arts and science. We need to do Unit 2 Lesson 2 before next Wed. class.

SCIENCE 3 - Unit 1 Lesson 4. Learned about weather forecasting using meteorologists tools like weather balloons and satellites. Talked about how weather is charted and those figures are used to predict weather. They had fun with the links in the lesson so you might want to let them play with it some more.

Welcome Back Ranae! FYI - we've been having the kids do the assessments at home. We'll just do the unit assessments in class so that we can review with them.
