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.

Jackson 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. Good work!

Jackson completed his interactive calendar. He wrote his spelling words, put them in ABC order, and used them to write sentences. He used his sight words in a reading comprehension activity. He matched up his vocabulary words with their correct definitions. He learned about r-controlled vowels and was able to identify them. He read the story, "Into the Sea," and made a story map for it.

Jackson learned about resources and how resources affect people's choices.

9.3 Measure with a Centimeter Ruler – We learned to measure and estimate lengths in standard metric units. We practiced converting centimeters to inches. We learned that 2.5 centimeters equals 1 inch.

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 Jackson 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 27 million degrees Fahrenheit and is a huge ball of gas; 3) The sun is 864,000 miles wide and is 4.5 billion years old; and 4) One million earths can fit inside the sun. Then Jackson cut out sun rays along the edge of a white paper plate. 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.

Jackson was absent today.
