We read a book called "Room on the Broom" and talked about the characters, setting, problem, and solution in the story. We also did a Venn Diagram to compare the traits of the two main characters. They came up with some great words to describe the characters! We did a craft to go along with the learning and each student picked 3 words for each character to put on their craft.
We have done a couple of science experiments this month. We used soda and pop rocks to learn how gas expands a balloon and we made rootbeer floats. They discovered that a rootbeer float has all 3 states of matter!
Every year I print a little Halloween joke book for the kids to read. They love telling jokes so they had a blast reading them with a buddy!
We like to play math games. It's a good way to learn math facts and how to cooperate with other students. :) Plus using goldfish to mark the spots and to snack on, is a good time!
