Recently in science, we finished our dehydration of apples lab. Students discovered which method of dehydration dried apples the fastest. They also learned which method they prefer in terms of qualitative data, that of tastiest. Ask your child which method he/she prefer.
In social studies we are learning about interactions between Native Americans and early explorers/colonists. It is being connected to literacy, as we are reading the novel The Sign of the Beaver. This novel brings up many topics that are standards in our social studies curriculum.
In math we have been learning about division, going beyond the simple computation into understanding what division is all about. It has been challenging for many students, but they are beginning to understand WHAT division is in addition to HOW to divide.
Journeys Outdoor School is just around the corner. Our class is excited to attend Sept. 25-28th!
