M & M Adventures: Week 36

L. Arts:
Max- i did lessons 37 and 38 in my language arts book. I went over words with AI in them and learned about parables. I did some books and answered questions on RAZ kids. I practiced phonics cards.
Mali- This week I read some stories to myself from my reader. I did some lessons on Nessy and also some Reading Eggs. I wrote a bunch of sentences on my own and then made a little book out of them. I practiced some of my flash cards.

Math:
Max- My Dreambox activities were on making graphs. I liked those. I also did some math pages in my workbook.
Mali- my Dreambox activities were on making tens to add numbers. Mostly using a ten frame. I used a ruler as a number line to help me figure them out.

Tech:

we built the best project in our Super Structured kit. It was an arch. We watched an informative video on arches on Youtube and learned about compression and tension forces. We made some paper arches as well. We also did paint pouring with mom and Leif.

History:

we learned about the Mauryan Empire of India. Also about the Jataka Tales that are kind of similar to Aesop’s fables that are about how to live a good and moral life.

Science:

We did some backyard birdwatching. We also went over by the lake and did some more birdwatching. Our mom has an app we can look them up on and it also has samples of their songs. Some of the birds we only heard but mom knew their calls so she looked them up on the app and showed us pictures of them.

Music:

we had our music class over zoom. We practiced our songs on the bells. Part of our homework was to color rectangles on a music staff the color of the corresponding bells.
