Transformers New Year's Week!

This week we read "Basho's Journey" and talked about how to write Haiku's. The students got a chance to write 3 Haikus of their own. Haikus are poems that have 17 syllables and 3 lines each.
We also finished and corrected the reading workbooks. This week the reading workbook was a bit more difficult so we spent more time on it.

For Science we studied "The Story of Soil". We are learning about how soil is made and why it is important to have soil. We are also studying the soil profiles and also the different levels of soil.
We finished and corrected the Science workbook. The students were separated in to teams this week and the team that answered the most questions correctly got to go for a 10 minute break while the other team studied vocabulary.

New vocabulary was handed out this week. We went over it in class in detail. A new song called "A Whole New World" was also taught.

This week was a shortened week again, hope everyone had a great new year's eve!
