So You Need to Know the Continents and Oceans?

In Social Studies, students have been working on the Continents and Oceans. We have also begun to talk about reading maps and directions.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, there will be a short quiz on the continents and oceans. Students need to be able to identify all 7 continents and 4 oceans. There is a study guide going home today.

Here is a fun little review if you'd like to use it to study!

Week in Review by Wesley

This week we did writing and we are making cause & effect stories.We read a Train to Somewhere and its long.We learned about subjects and predicates in grammar and its kind of hard.Our class had MAP tests and on the math one I took over 1 hour and I was the last 1 done.In social studies we looked at where the 7 continents and the oceans are. Our target skill this week is sequencing but it will be something else next week.In math we used compasses and paperclips can be a compass also.And that was about our week at school.

Building Teamwork and Building POLYGONS!

In math this week we learned about polygons and parallelograms. (Ask your student about our parallelogram rap!) Students worked together in math class to build different size polygons out of straws and pipe cleaners. Here are students working together to build a polygon with as many sides as they can!

Giving new meaning to "hands-on" learning!
