**Miss Kirk's Solo Week**

FYI:
Field Trip Tomorrow - please have child wear Gray GSE shirt and tennis shoes!!! :) Also, an inhalers need to be brought to school if not already here - there is lots of dust that sometimes gets allergies!! :)

Science:
LO: I can explain how light travels.
Activity: We tried to figure out how to place three cards with holes in the center in order to shine a light through all three, then we looked at a laser beam by spraying water in the air. We learned that light travels in a straight path. After that, we thought about what would happen to light if it "ran into" something, then we watched a short video and started learning about reflection.
No HW

Writing:
Activity: We are working on creating pod casts of our articles about weather! We also reviewed the parts of speech during writing today.
No HW

Reading:
LO: I can identify the theme of a story.
Activity: We read a story together and found the theme, then students worked in pairs to find the theme of a different story. Then, we finished up an activity from Thursday where students acted out short stories and we tried to find the theme of them. The kids loved this and it was so fun to see their acting skills! :)
No HW

Math:
LO: I can review how to tell time and time conversions.
Activity: First, we had some students show different times with their bodies by using their arms as the hands of a clock. Then, students practiced showing different times on their own mini-clock. We talked about the phrases "quarter to" "quarter after" and "half past". Then, we worked on some time conversion problems. We even figured out how many minutes there are in a week!
