Today was a fun one. The children got to create a project I find to be WAY too much work: SQUIDDY!
We also worked, too! This morning, we reviewed Common and Proper Nouns. I've collected a worksheet for you, but you can click the link to play a game, too.
We also reviewed Wordly Wise words for Lesson 5. You can check out BrainFlips for a review.
For math, we talked about circumference (the distance measured around the rim of a circle) and diameter (the distance across the center of a circle). Then we measured the circumference and diameter of several circles and shared what data we found.
We actually discovered that if you triple the diameter, you will get VERY close to the circumference measurement. We completed journal page 76 as well. (There are some tricky patterns there!)
This afternoon, we talked about different kinds of maps: Political, Physical, and Economic. Please review this power point for helpful hints on what these maps tell us about an area.
After we got an idea of what kind of maps these are, we started to make maps of Florida. There were guides to share around the room. You can start designing these maps when you come back to school.
We also researched more about the Timucua in small groups and worked on our Bitstrips Comic Strip for Manatee Blues. We will get back together with our Timucua groups on Wednesday and we'll catch you up. You can ask one of your three teammates what they learned today, too.

I hope you are feeling better! We've missed you and hope to see you back in the morning.
