Well, we all earned our Free Dress day!! These kids are working hard to rise to some pretty high expectations, so I felt everyone deserved to wear what they wanted on Friday. We had an extremely busy week full of new lessons and materials. The children were introduced to the Geometric Solids, specifically the sphere, cube, square-based pyramid, and cone. Next week we'll cover rectangular prism, ovoid, and ellipsoid. I'll also give a lesson on understanding maps, and introduce the World Map. As a supplement, we'll begin work on Global Address packets.
In Literacy, we'll continue to cover sayings, poems, nursery rhymes, Aesop fables, and fairy tales. We started with the Three Little Pigs and Three Billy Goats Gruff. The children noticed the difference between an orginal translation that was read to them and the 1933 Disney version. Ask them about it!
