9/26-9/30

Tracing each other's feet to make a barefoot island, on which the kids designed their own map complete with a key and a compass rose

Feet tracing

We got to watch the 8th graders launch rockets they made

Our last landform project involved the kids designing landforms out of clay and paint, and then labeling them.

We played a game similar to hot potato to help us practice our consonant clusters


Looking Ahead to Next Week:
Memory: For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
Spelling:  on/ong: on, onto, fond, con, apron, long, song, along, belong, strong
Phonics: consonant clusters with the letter s
Grammar: verbs
Reading: The setting of  a story
Math: doubles facts plus 1. We will most likely have a test on Friday, depending on how our schedule goes for the week. 
Social Studies: What is earth?
Writing: We will write with the purpose of persuading others to come to our lands that we made this past week
