Today we read, It Looked Like Spilt Milk as an introduction to our cloud study. We learned that people have been using clouds to make weather predictions for many years. The students focused on these four types of clouds: cumulus, stratus, cirrus, and cumulonimbus. They created collages based on the shape, location, and names of these clouds. They are displayed in the hall for the students to see. We also completed a study guide with the cloud and the weather it brings. This should be in the students' science binder.
In social studies we are working on a quilt project. The students are working in groups to make a mini-quilt with four key vocabulary words from Chapter 4. They are to create a quilt square for each term and then write a paragraph about how all of the terms are connected. They will share their projects with the class. We will post pictures of the finished quilts later.
