We are talking about different types of dwellings this week, so I started the day by reading A House is a House for Me. Students brainstormed what things are houses for other things. They came up with some good ones, including, "A flower is a home for a fairy." Awww... Cute, huh? In math, students had to evenly distribute items to different numbers of people. They learned that the more people there are, the less everyone gets! We had P.E. in the classroom today because there was an orchestra concert in the gym. For social studies, we looked at dwellings from different parts of the country. We learned about wigwams, igloos, adobe homes, and yurts. I gave the students a hint about tomorrow's science lesson by telling them that they'll do a weather experiment in which they get to use an eyedropper. They were intrigued.
