We learned about a writer, Robert Louis Stevenson. He wrote rhyming poems and 3 books: Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde. We wrote holiday rhyming poems and we got to watch Muppet Treasure Island.
This week we had TWO tests. We had our Canada test, and our Unit 5 math test. We also had a vocab quiz today. We had to study a LOT this week.
We also started making stained glass Christmas trees. Some of us finished, and the rest will finish on Monday.
We started reading a book called Stone Fox by John Reynolds Gardiner. It is a story about a little boy, his grandfather and his dog, Searchlight. So far, we think it is pretty good.
In science we started learning a little about weather. We looked at some informational websites and even had some homework. There are some great weather sites attached to our class websites. This unit will continue through the beginning of 2010.
In math, we got to play some math games.
It was a really busy week this week!
From the teacher's desk:
It has really been a busy week. I like to wrap up as much as possible before the vacation, so that the information the children learn is still fresh in their minds. I am very aware of how busy this time of year is, and I truly appreciate all that you've done with the food drive and helping your children stay organized. I know next week will be even busier, but I am hopeful we can get through it with continued success....It's only 3 days! Have a great weekend!
