Mali - Week 13

Language Arts: I did a lesson and read the new story Hit the Gas. I practiced my phonogram cards and my word cards. I did some Reading Eggs. I did a Build A Sentence activity with my mom. You swap out different words in a sentence to change it to match the picture, then draw a new picture card and change the sentence again.

Math:  I played Number Dice Junior. I did some Dreambox. I built a 100 chart. I did some workbook pages. One was fun because it had mommy and baby butterflies and I found all the babies even if they weren’t in the same row.

Science: We learned about atoms. We built models with Skittles and also as a group with balloons. We learned that the atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons, neutrons and electrons.

 
History: We learned about King Tutankhamen. He wasn’t a very important or notable pharaoh but his tomb wasn’t discovered until the early 1900s so he is really famous. His tomb was undisturbed which was notable because so many were raided and robbed a long time ago. 

 
Music: We focused a lot on baby steps on the staff. A major chord is made up of all baby steps. A baby step goes from a line to a space or a space to a line. We identified mi-re-do and sol-sol-do in our Circle to the Left song.

Tech (Engineering): We built a fort wall patterned after Jamestown with the building stuff at Thanksgiving Point. We also built cup towers at home with a bunch of cups we had gotten for a neighborhood party game. We built a really tall one.
