M & M Adventures: Week 39

L. Arts:

Max - I did Unit 2 Review and Unit 2 Assessment. I did a handwriting page. I started Unit 3. I started reading the story Flat Stanley.

Mali - On nessy I practiced reading and making words with beginning and ending consonant blends. I did a handwriting page and colored the picture. I like how it turned out. My reading lesson with mom also focused on beginning consonant blends. They are kind of tricky

Math

Max - I did Dreambox lessons on how to use known basic facts and double one factor and halve the other to determine the product of a more challenging problem. I also did some workbook pages.

Mali - I did some workbook pages. I finished up shapes and patterns and did more practice with ordinal numbers.

Science:

We learned about sound and analog and digital recordings. We learned about the visible light spectrum. We went into an abandoned old house and saw a bunch of barn swallow nests and the barn swallows were swooping all around and in and out of the house.

History:

We learned about Butch Cassidy and stopped at his childhood home in Circleville Utah. In our history curriculum we learned more about Julius Caesar. He gained loyalty from his army and that helped him take over as dictator. We learned about Cleopatra and her brother and her alliance with Caesar so she could get rid of her brother. Caesar was killed by the Senate because they didn’t support that he’d made himself king of Rome. We also saw petroglyphs this week at Parowan Gap.

Music:

We did our last homework assignment. We recorded some songs for our recital.

Tech:

We made a crown out of weeds and plants in the backyard. Mali also made a pipe cleaner tiara.
