We have been learning about how the Earth, Sun and Moon relate to each other. Our main wonders are how local changes are seen related to how we turn in space, how we our location's seasons relates to the axis or tilt of the earth. We have done experiments, watched interesting movies, asked questions and are still discovering many things!
Miss Powell has been teaching the class a unit on Financial Literacy. We have been using a "Classroom Economy" where we earn money doing classroom jobs, pay weekly rent for our chair and desk, have opportunities to rent a stool for the day or shop at the classroom store every Friday. We have been using fake money to solve our math problem. We had two guest speakers from Valley First Credit Union come to speak to us about the importance of saving and how banks and credit unions work.
We also had a shopping game, where we took turns being shoppers and cashiers to exchange money for items. On Monday, we had a visit from the Westside Warriors. We were able to ask them a number of questions and then were able to play "Elbow Tag" with them. They were pretty fast runners!
