Remington finished his sun catcher and attached the four sun fun facts to it. We hung it up in media center where the sun can shine through it, and our school community can read about the sun and learn! Then Remington wanted to paint a sunset. We are learning about the science of light and sunsets as part of our STEAM learning.

The teacher reviewed the Spanish vowels with the student, focusing on the sound each one makes. The student then completed a worksheet practicing all five vowels and their corresponding sounds. At the end of the lesson, the student reinforced learning by drawing and labeling items that begin with each vowel.

Remi reviewed and practiced spelling his spelling words. He used his spelling words to write sentences. Using his glossary skills, he looked up his new vocabulary words and wrote the definition for each word in his notebook. He read and discussed the story, "Into the Sea," and wrote a story map for it. One of his spelling words is churn, so today we churned heavy cream and made butter. He completed several activities using and identifying r-controlled vowels.

We will look at examples of how erupting volcanoes change the earth's surface. We will discuss the reason for volcanoes to erupt.

It was an action-packed class today with energetic movement to Danny Go!, a game of ping pong, and three chrysalis sightings on the playground. Then Remington worked on his sun catcher project. He added colorful tissue paper to the center of the sun, and then he created patterns and neatly colored those on his four sun-shaped fun facts to attach to his sun catcher. Remington’s hand-eye coordination and motor skills are sharpening!

Remi learned about r-controlled vowels in his new spelling words. He wrote his spelling words 3times each and put them in ABC order. He completed an activity using his new vocabulary words in context. He worked on a reading comprehension activity recognizing r-controlled vowels.

We will discuss the concept of working to produce goods and to provide services. We will discuss various types of jobs that will produce income so we can pay for needs and wants.

We started the lesson by watching the video Facts About the Sun for Kids: What is the Sun? Science Lesson for Kids by Twinkl USA. I had Remington write four facts about the sun that he learned from the video on his My Sun Facts worksheet. He wrote the following: 1) The sun is a star; 2) The sun is a huge ball of gas that is 27 million degrees Fahrenheit; 3) The sun is 864,000 miles wide, and 4) the sun is 4.5 billion years old. Then Remington traced sun rays on a white paper plate and cut those out. I cut out the center of the plate for safety purposes. Then he put two sheets of wax paper down over the cut-out center of the paper plate and traced and cut out a wider circle. Next, he cut out several squares of colored tissue paper. He will complete the sun catcher tomorrow.
