This year as part of our Life Cycles unit, we will be studying human life and our own growth as individuals, from fall to spring. The children have been measuring each other's head circumference, height, foot length and hand length. They have made predictions about how much they think they will grow over the course of the school year.
While studying rocks, we have been focusing on the three main kinds of rocks: Metamorphic, Sedimentary & Igneous. This week the students highlighted the main clues to determine rock type when examining a new rock:
Each student received a rock specimen, sketched the rock and recorded facts about the rock:
In Social Studies this week we continued our map exploration by looking at a map of central Ann Arbor. We navigated our way by answering questions such as "What is south of the stadium?" and "Which park is north of Bach School?"
Arush shared his compass with the class, too!
This week in Math we learned the game "Making Change".
This can easily be played at home!
