In reading we finished our 5th unit. The kids have been reading fables, folktales and learning about people like Martin Luther King, Thomas Edison, and the Wright brothers. Unit 6 is all about habitats and the kids are loving it.
In writing, we collaborated with my teaching friend, Mrs. Piltz and got to use adobe voice to tell how we would catch a leprechaun. It was especially fun, as we had a visit that same day from a very naughty leprechaun who left a mess in our room. :)
In math, we still are working on math fact fluency, we also have been learning about place value. We will start learning how to add bigger numbers this quarter and working on learning to tell time and count money.
We finished our PLTW unit on sound. The kids discovered that sound travels by vibrations and had so much fun creating their telephones! Our next unit is on light and I am so excited. This new curriculum is so much fun for me and the students.
