Morning Meeting

Trey was our chaplian this week.  He led our class
in the devotion during our morning meetings and led
the class in prayer before lunch.

Lewis shared the items from his bag as we learned more about him.

What Do You See Moving?

Our first topic of study in Science is the skeleton and how it functions.  As an exploratory activity, each student had to watch their partner jump rope for a minute and record every body part they observed moving in their journals.  Each student played the roll as the jumpee and the observer.  I believe giggles were also observed.

Angles Are Everywhere

We have deep into Unit 1 in Math.  The focus is on lines, angles, and polygons.  The class has enjoyed singing and dancing to the Jammin Classroom songs.  The songs we have focused on are Angles Are Everywhere, focus on right, acute and obtuse angles, Parallel and Perpendicular Lines, and Polygons.  You should ask your student to sing a refrain from the songs and show the dance moves.  I am sure you have heard them at home already as the tune stays in your head.

More groups hard at work.

Is a square also a rhombus or is it a rhombus is also a square?

Every class starts with homework check, mental math and a
math message.
