In science this week we learned about the differences between invasive species and endangered species. Something that makes a big difference is the animal's adaptations. Some animals and plants can survive in a wide variety of environments and other ones need really specific conditions to thrive. One invasive plant we learned about was kudzu. Our sister is traveling in the south and saw kudzu everywhere. It really grows fast and can spread over anything in its way.
In Geography we started Asia. We learned about Turkey, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia. The pictography to help us remember is a turkey vulture wearing a hat and eating a butterfly.
We also went swimming at the rec center. It was during regular school hours so it was super empty and we pretty much had the whole big pool to ourselves.
Mali: In math I finished up patterns and money. I am doing measuring now. It involves measuring with inches, feet, and yards and converting inches to feet, feet to inches, and yards to feet and feet to yards. I finished reading the Orange Fairy book and am now reading Sunny the Yellow Fairy.
Max: I finished up the 3rd grade math program in CTC Math, so I did quite a few review lessons to go over things and make sure I understood everything. I will go ahead and start on the fourth grade lessons soon.
