Learning about clouds and America

Our week of December 5th-8th

We started our study on clouds this week.  Learning the main types of clouds and their scientific names.

Here K is painting clouds..as you can see he added some rain to a few of his clouds.  This project was needed for his writing paper the following day.

Writing about the type of cloud that he painted a picture of

This is our cloud chart where we wrote some features of clouds that K knew before we started our study of clouds.

We are also learning about our country.  This is a short series as we are just doing short series this school year and next school year we are planning on covering the USA in depth state by state.

This week we are learning about the flag, our freedoms, the symbols of our country.

This next week we are working on finishing up our reading and phonics books and getting ready to start the next set of books after Christmas.

We are doing a fire theme this week for community helpers that we started last week but this week is hands on.  Look fwd to the pictures at the end of the week.

Have a joyous week

What we've been up to

It's been cold in our neck of the woods..OK COLD to us thin blooded people. which my brother says it the best we're like Lizards and we don't know what to do with ourselves when it's COLD. We bundled up but getting off the couch and getting work done took so much energy :o)

K worked on the number families and building numbers from the ones family.

Taken a couple of quizzes and test passing everything with only 1 B

We have a ton of baking this month and as you can see K loves decorating cookies with the whole jug of sprinkles :o)

Our Class Fish named fishy 2...we've had him for 7 weeks now and he's getting big.

After the holidays I hope to get better at keeping up with the blog just so much going on over here with my mom moving to FL from WA and getting things done for her and the holidays school and keeping a house up has my plate overflowing at the moment.

We are now on a SCHOOL holiday from tomorrow until the new year...We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a blessed new year
