I apologize for the "photos only" post on Friday. I honestly got sidetracked, and am just getting back to the blog now. We have been plowing forward working in our class. So much is happening, it is difficult to summarize. We are working on creating some typed versions of VT history books, working on the tricky concept of division, learning to research and take notes, and so much more.
Creating non-fiction text on Google Docs is very exciting. This will be our first type-written published piece. We are working on creating the text, with photos, now, and will be learning from Mrs. Knoedler how to bind our work into books suitable for presentation and heirloom-ness. We will be using this new found skill later in the year as we will be creating expert books on subjects of our choice.
In math we are working on division, this can be a tricky skill to learn, and we are treading lightly into it. We are working currently with division problems that can be solved using multiplication strategies. We are investigating what happens to numbers when they are split into groups of different sizes.
We also have started work on researching some choice topics. These range from hamsters to sisters! We will be working with some online research tools and practicing taking notes! Again I apologize for the light-amount of posting, and resolve to increase posts in the future!
