What are we up to?
Math
We're modeling with manipulatives and drawing multiplication problems and finding the unknown numbers in division using the array model. We're learning new math vocabulary such as factor, product, dividend, divisor, and quotient.
STEAM
We've made towers and bridges, and are exploring building a bridge without any adhesive.
Can it be done?
Art
Did you know that bees see a different spectrum of light than we do? If you are curious about how bees see the world, check out our spectacular "ultraviolet spectrum bee's view" flowers in the windows. Some other art projects we created were wire sculptures a la Giacometti and the "Lost and Found" art based on an adventure story we read.
Language Arts
Our first Language Arts unit is about adventure. We read the Lost and Found and the Ballad of Mulan. We're creating our own written characters and keys to write a "secret" narrative that you can decode.
We're reading, writing, analyzing and responding to text in Language Arts Centers every morning.
