Spotlight on Learning
Week of January 9, 2017
Math: We began Module 4. This module is primarily about area.
ELA: We worked more with text dependent analysis. We read about two interesting plants and their adaptations: the skunk cabbage and the dead horse arum lily.
Science: We learned about classifying rocks by properties such as luster, hardness, streak, and color. We also began learning about types of rocks. Ask your child about the igneous and sedimentary rocks that we made...and ate! We also enjoyed a visit from Fossil Frank.
Social Studies: We continued learning about colonial times, specifically Native American roles in settlement of Carolina.
