The teacher reviewed telling time with the student using a clock. Then, the teacher introduced four interactive exercises on the computer, where the student practiced reading and identifying different times with support as needed.

Lesson 3 Design Solutions to Slow Landscape Changes – We learned that civil engineers use design software as part of their engineering design process. It helps them visualize the design solution and whether or not it can be used. This is how they build, test, and improve designs before using them. Then we looked into new ways to slow landscape changes by preventing wind erosion.

Student saw how easy it is to make a meatball that is delicious and different using regular market ingredients.
We also learned about precooking and final baking to ensure freshness and optimal moisture content.

From scratch using common store ingredients student made the honey lime avocado stack to standard. Also, a tasting was conducted to demonstrate what the final product looked like and its expected flavor profile.

Jackson finished his sun catcher and attached the four sun fun facts to it. We hung it up on outside door of the lunchroom where the sun can shine through it, and our school community can read about the sun and learn! Then we watched the video “Why Is The Sunset Red?” by Astronomic. We are learning about the science of light and sunsets as part of our STEAM learning. We reviewed our ROY G. BIV and looked at his notes from our color theory work. Then Jackson wanted to paint a sunset. He is watching a step-by-step video on how to paint a sunset using watercolor. Jackson is painting on heavy watercolor paper, and he is learning the principles of that medium versus acrylic paint on canvas.

Jackson completed his interactive calendar. He used his spelling words to write sentences. He reviewed spelling his spelling words. He read his vocabulary words and used his glossary skills and the guide words to locate his vocabulary words in the glossary and write down the definitions in his notebook. He read and discussed a story about volcanoes. He completed an activity using r-controlled vowels demonstrating his understanding of how r can make a vowel sound. He learned how to make butter and wrote down the steps for making it.

9.5 Centimeters and Meters – We learned how measuring in meters is different than measuring in centimeters. We practiced measuring the length of objects using different units of measurement. We analyzed how the measurements relate to the size of the unit chosen.

The teacher introduced a clock and explained how to tell time in Spanish, beginning with the hours and then moving on to the minutes. The student practiced by reading the times set by the teacher and, at the end of the lesson, reinforced their understanding by writing the time shown on eight different clocks.

Lesson 3 Design Solutions to Slow Landscape Changes – We learned that the breakwater is an offshore structure such as a wall protecting a Harbor or beach from the force of waves. We also learned that planting shrubs along a coast and using rocks to block waves can slow landscape changes. We learned about levies to control flooding too. We discovered that planting crops in curves that follow the shape of the hills will help in growing more crops and preventing erosion.

9.4 Problem Solving: Add and Subtract Lengths – We learned how a drawing or diagram can help when solving problems about lengths. We practiced drawing diagrams to help solve word problems. We wrote number sentences using a blank square for the unknown number.
