Week 4 Overview

I want to thank you all for being so patient with me in getting in the habit of posting a blog in a timely manner. :)  

• History: Timeline Cards #22-28, Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
• Geography: Hittite Empire
• English: Prepositions - before, behind, below, beneath, beside
• Latin: 1st Declension Noun Endings
• Math: Skip Counting 7's & 8's
• Science: Some Parts of a Plant Cell

Our Science project was called "Oily Feathers", and in Fine Arts we learned about "Abstract Art".

GEOGRAPHY: The story we used for the Hittite Empire was - In ASIA MINOR, there was a TURKEY named HATTUSA/HATTI that wanted to take a trip to the ARABIAN DESERT, but settled for a vacation on the island of CYPRUS.

SCIENCE: The song was to the tune of the 4's skip counting. It goes like this:
Chloroplasts (4-8-12)
Cell Membrane (16-20)
Cell Wall (24)
Cytoplasm (28)
Nucleus (32)
Mitochondria (36-40)
Vacuole (44)
Golgi Bodies (48)
These are some parts of a plant cell (singing 4's is really great)

*The sheets we used did come from CC Connected, but Simone provided those, so I am not sure of the file name.  I would do a search for "plant cell".  Also, the name for the section file share is now called At Home Sharing Center. 



Presentation for week 5 is "Tell us your favorite joke.  You can use pictures or props."  Help them to work on Articulation this week.  They are doing so well...better & better every week!

See you on Tuesday! :)
