I am amazed that we've already survived four weeks of school! It's been a blast so far!
This week we did our benchmarking in reading, and the A-Team was great for their sub (as I knew they would be).
We've been continuing with light in science--reflection and refraction were our big topics of the week. In math we finished talking about exponents and then we had a test. On Friday we started on the Order of Operations, and we came up with our own phrases to help us remember PEMDAS. We've been learning about the Sumerians in Mesopotamia and we even made some cuneiform tablets on Friday. It must have been hard to be a scribe in those days! Finally, in literacy we've been focusing on metacognition. We learned that being aware of and understanding our own thoughts can help us be better readers.
Other news this week:
--Happy Birthday to Makiah this last Friday!
--I sent in the book orders so hopefully those will arrive in the next couple of weeks.
