Hi parents,
Today we started a new topic in social studies - communities and cultures around the world. We will be studying India, Peru, Tunisia, and Ukraine, and learning about the geography, language, traditions, food, and landmarks in each place. We will spend one week learning about each place, and then at the end of the week, students will write a 'travel journal' entry, as though they had visited there themselves. They will incorporate specific examples from their learning into their writing.
Today we looked at an overview of India, and then focused on the Taj Mahal, India's most famous landmark.
In math, we did 2-digit by 1-digit multiplication using the Golden Beads material. The class saw how regrouping in a multiplication problem is very similar to an addition problem - which makes sense, because multiplication is just repeated addition.
In the afternoon, we talked about the -oy word family, and the class practiced spelling.
We had Music, and ended our day with some Novel Study Presentations.
Have a nice night,
Zac
