Math – Kelcy took the Unit 2 Assessment and did extremely well. He easily identified missing numbers in division equations and multiplication fact families. He is extremely proficient on using the distributive property to solve multiplication problems. He is also extremely capable of identifying patterns in tables of numbers.
Science – Kelcy learned that the closest layer in Earth’s atmosphere is where weather occurs and the next layer is where planes and weather balloons fly. Above this layer meteors burn up in the atmosphere protecting the Earth and above that the space shuttle orbits the Earth. The last layer is where satellites orbit. Then we set up a hands-on experiment called “color a carnation” that was in his science book. We purchased carnations from a florist and put half of them in cups with several drops of food coloring. We hope to see how water is dispersed in plants.
