Ninetieth Day of School

We have made it throught the mid-point of the school year. (a special thank you to all of the parents who supported teachers in the past week)

So far in our reteach of informational writing, we have chosen a topic, collected information, planned and written a chapter each for 2 subtopics, used transitions between ideas, and written openings and closings.

In Visual Arts today, we learned that there were 7 main elements. We looked at works emphasizing line and began to practice our 2 types of lines.

In Social Science, we have been learning about our relative place in the Universe. We found our way from our house through neighborhood, city, county, state, country, continent, planet, solar system, and galaxy, learning the names of each. We then located our position on a map of the galaxy. We learned (or recalled) that our planet has 7 continents which we will need to be able to name and locate on a map along with the location of Los Angeles.
