Reading
We are continuing "Little Pilgrim's Progress" this week. We will read this book through the end of the year. We will be completing a character diary on this book. Your child will write an entry everyday about how they would feel, think, what they might do if they were on the same journey with Christian. Each day they read they will need an entry about what happened that day and how they would feel or what they saw, ect. The entry needs to be at least three complete sentences.
Science:
End of the year science presentation: On May 9, the students will present their ocean boxes for the year. They will also complete a presentation. They need to pick their favorite animal that we have studied this year. The presentation needs to be at least 4 sentence. They need to write them down on note cards or a piece of paper. They will turn in their notecards or paper with their presentation on it. They can read their information however they will need to look at their notes and then look up to speak. The same process as for an oral retell in IEW. They can also bring an item in that goes with their presentation. I have listed two examples below. This will be two grades. One for the ocean box and one for the presentation.
Tides: I have been to the beach and love playing in the ocean that comes on the beach. I learned that the reason the ocean that comes up on the beach is called a tide. The tide are caused by the moon. As the moon goes through the different phases the tides change the amount that they flow onto the beach. I think that it is amazing how God made the moon effect the oceans on Earth.
Killer Whales: Killer whales are my favorite animal. They are really called orcas. Orcas live in family groups their whole lives. They are amazing hunter. They are also very smart. I loved learning more about orcas or killer whales.
The Oceans Box needs to contain the following:
Chapter 1: Cover or paint the box blue
Chapter 2: Baleen what or toothed whale
Chapter 3: Seal, sea lion, walrus, or manatee
Chapter 4: Sea turtle and a sea snake
