Mali Week 6

L. Arts: We played a new Ziggy game. This one we got to buy things from the market. The number of things we could pick was determined from a number written on the bottom corner of my phonogram flash cards. I read the Bam story in my reader again. I did a handwriting page. I had my DIBELS assessment.

Math: Finished up my worksheet pages on number patterns. Learned about number bonds.

Science:In my co-op class Hands On Science we learned about LIGHT! We discussed the terms reflection and refraction. We learned about how fast light travels, and talked about how light is a form of energy. We modeled waves with a slinky and learned about lasers. The kids had a mission to reflect a laser off of two mirrors and onto a target sheet of paper. Then we put some dry ice in water (and reviewed states of matter) and shone the lasers through the CO2, noticing how the gas scatters the laser light so we could see the beams. We also got glow sticks and discussed how those are chemicals generated light, like fireflies and angler fish. We went to the zoo for a field trip. The animals we’re really active and we got to see a lot of neat things. Two really fun things were watching the seals and sea lions do their tricks for feeding time and watching the Sand Cat kittens play. They were really cute!

History: We learned about Champsy-Edad who was a ruler of a kingdom in Mesopotamia. He was super brutal and killed lots of people when he would take over their cities. Eventually he died and his sons weren’t good at working together so Hammurabi took over. We also learned about the epic of Gilgamesh. It’s kind of the first superhero story.
Music: We learned two new songs. They are fun because two people make a doorway/trap and the other people walk through it.

Tech (Engineering): One was about gears and the other was about pulleys. We built houses and walls with our math blocks.

Other: We went on a field trip to the Krishna temple in Spanish Fork. It was fun to see the animals they have there. We got to do the Hare Krishna chant, learn more about their religion, and eat lunch there.
