Kip did very well interpreting both a pictograph and a bar graph on temperatures in Alaska. We continue to look at how weather affects lifestyle. Kelcy began an activity that involved looking at pictures of different environments, writing how the environments affect people and writing how people can adapt to the environment.

Math – Kelcy did problems from each section to review for a Lesson 11 and Lesson 12 quiz. Then he worked on a division worksheet to increase fluency. Next he completed several problems in which he had to find a factor on a multiplication table to complete a multiplication equation. Next he completed 15 minutes of iReady.
Science – Kelsey worked on Day 2 Why leaves change color in the fall. He learned that photosynthesis is the process through which plants make food. Then he learned that chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs sunlight energy in plant leaves to perform the process. He learned that plants also need carbon dioxide gas from the air and water to perform photosynthesis. He added two new cards to his science vocabulary: carbon dioxide and photosynthesis.
