M & M Adventures: Max

L. Arts: I read two mini books. I practiced counting syllables in words. I learned about consonant blends at the beginning of words. I learned about capitalizing words.

Math: We practiced number bonds to make 8, 10, 11, and 12. We used our number mats outside because it was a nice day.

Science: We learned about Magnetism. It was fun to explore all the different magnets. We learned that like poles repel (push against) each other.

History: We learned about ancient China. People there settled around the Yellow and Yangtze rivers. They grew rice. Rice needs a lot of water to grow and the soil has to stay wet.

Music: We learned the Going on a Lion Hunt song. For our homework we listened to the Aladdin song and had to glue the right characters in the right spots based on the order their themes played.

Tech (Engineering): I made a snake out of craft paper and toilet paper rolls. We went to the skate park and observed (and rode on) ramps and other structures. We went to see Big Boy, the largest steam engine ever built. I built with our pegs set.

Other: We passed off all the requirements to move up to trampoline and tumbling level two. This week was our first week going to that class. It was fun. We went on a family hike up to Timpanogos Falls.
