Week 16

Scotty-

Math: I learned to skip by fives.  I also learned about money.  The nickel is worth 5.  Mom told me a story where someone stole her money, because they tricked her by saying nickels are worth more than dimes because they are bigger.  So dimes are worth 10 cents and they tricked her. I need to know my money so no one can trick me. 

Language Arts:  I learned about Homophones.  They are words that sound the same but mean different things.  Like eight and ate and to and two.  I also am learning my spelling again with the teapot poem.

Science: We asked the question, "Why is Mars red?"  The answer is because there is lots of Iron in the ground and it rusts from water.  They think there was water on Mars a long time ago.  We also watched a bonus about, robots.  My two favorites were one Spot Mini and robot arms that could make you dinner.  Spot Mini is like a dog and it was giving a guy his drink and doing the dishes and opening a door.

Tech:  I built a dolphin in tech and I made it swim.  It didn't have building instructions, so I had to figure it out with pictures.

Karate:  Karate was really hard this week.  I had to keep doing things over and over that I didn't know.

Beth-

Math: This week I learned about the units and the tens house.  They live on decimal street.  The tens live in a blue house and the units live in a green house.

Language Arts:  I read a story about kids running into a shack.  And also I learned a new word and it says A. And also that new word "said".

Dance: We just keep learning the Christmas dance. It is fun to dance with the star wand though!
