On Monday we were fortunate to have the U of M Society of Women Engineers come visit us. They taught the children how to make compasses with cork, water, a magnet and a paperclip. This connected with our upcoming mini unit on Magnetism, as well as our social studies exploration of maps and map tools.
This week in social studies we began reading about various occupations including service jobs. The children learned a little about athletes, entertainers, architects, health care providers, and more. A reminder that if any parents would like to come in to talk with the class about your work, we would be happy to have you!
On Wednesday we visited Hill Auditorium to hear the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra perform the "Planets" concert!
Below is the beginning of the funny math story of the Wubbles. The children needed to figure out how many Wubbles they would have by the end of the week. Some students challenged themselves by figuring out how many Wubbles there would be after 2 weeks!
This week the children learned a game called "Basketball addition". This was great practice on adding multiple numerals.
Children worked with writing buddies this week to share stories and give one another feedback:
