Ounces, Pounds and Tons

We began our Medieval art project today. The children are making stained glass windows. Today they spent time working on their design and finally making the frame of their window. The children had great attitudes as they worked on their art. We will continue working on this project tomorrow.
The class was off to gym next. After gym, they worked on spelling and agendas. This week we will be reviewing lists 13-17. We focused on list 13 words today. Ms. Levterova was not at school today and the children did not go to music. Instead we got started on our arithmetic lesson early. The goal was to get as much done in class so there is less to do for homework. In today's lesson we learned the relationship between ounces, pounds, and tons. The children held 1 ounce in one hand and a pound in the other hand to help them have an understanding of these weight measures.
After French, both grades had math class and both grades worked on drawing bar graphs by hand where the graph has a scale of one to many.
At the end of the day, the children had time to work on their Medieval research where they are comparing their medieval person or artefact to the equivalent in our modern society. Some children are bringing their research home to do some further work.
Look out for child care statements and lunch forms coming home today.
