Today in Science, we found out that Earth was once a large continent called pangaea millions & millions of years ago. Then over the years it started to shift and split apart into the continents we have now. It is all like a puzzle piece. What was fun today is that the kids had to cut out all the continents and piece them together as if it was one big continent. This took some persistence along with knowing where the continents are today. Another thing that helped was the phrase "the animals on the map will be your friend". If your child can tell you how that is so, write pangaea in the planner. Hint: It has to do with fossils.
Now we are going to move into talking about plate tectonics and learning about faults and the different kinds of fault boundaries.
Great job on the 3-D models. We had some fun creative ones.
Today in math, we worked more on fractions. I bet your child can explain it much better to you today.
READ-A-THON READERS! We are up to 9600 minutes-that is AWESOME!! See why I believe in these kids.
Tomorrow is PE so bring the shoes.
Speaking of being prepared for specialists-I was disappointed in 5 students today as they didn't have their music practice book page done for Mr. Goodheart. This is a big part of their music grade this quarter. So please talk to your child about if they were one of them or not.
Valentine bags went home tonight with a monster valentine writing project. The sky is the limit on the creativity for these. They will be due here at school on Monday so they can share before we start filling them up with valentines on Tuesday.
Today the committees met and planned food, games, and decorations. Your child wrote in their planner what they need to bring.
Have a great night.
