Trip to Wood's Ranch

Last Friday the groups presented the ecosystem reports. We learned about Utah forests, deserts, and wetlands.

We have survived the first few weeks of school!  We have been very busy learning routines and practicing procedures for the last three weeks.  We are working in the Go Math books learning place value and adding and subtracting whole numbers. 

 In CKLA we are learning about personal narratives and descriptive writing.  Later this week and next we will practice writing our own personal narrative.  

In science we learned the scientific process skills (observation, classifying, testing, communicating, predicting, etc.) and have started on the first unit which is ecosystems of Utah.  I put the children into three groups where they are researching an ecosystem. They will then create a poster and presentation to teach the rest of the class about their ecosystem.

After discussing patterns, each group had to create a patterned rug. They all turned out to be so beautiful!
