We began working on our pop art pieces during art this week. Some of the things children are painting include slurpee cups, coke bottles, ritz cracker boxes, kit kat bars and many other pop culture items!
We have finished learning about the temperate forests of North America and are now studying the wetlands. The Everglades is the largest wetland area on our continent. We learned about three different types of wetlands: marshes, swamps and bogs. We also talked about the different layers of the wetlands. Next week we will begin to learn about the flora and fauna that live in North American wetlands.
We have had introductory lessons on timelines, keeping track of the passing of days we are in school. These basic lessons on the time line are to prepare for our upcoming study of the timeline of life!
To prepare for next week's trip to hear the symphony, we have had lessons on the instruments in an orchestra. We have learned that the instruments in an orchestra can be divided into four families: strings. brass. percussion, and woodwinds. The children have been working to learn the names of many orchestra instruments as well as which family they belong to.
