Week 2

Dear Parents,

It’s the 2nd week of class and we’re starting elective classes this week. Elective classes are designed for students to learn a new skill or to improve one they already have. We have a variety of classes for students: computer, choir, drama, art, sports, and band.

This week we completed:

Reading: We read The Terrible Eek. It is a Japanese story about a mistake. A father was telling his son that he is afraid of a terrible leak but a thief on the roof heard terrible “eek”. The thief thought that an eek was a terrible monster and he was afraid.

Science: This week, we learned about learned about ways to describe weather. Scientists use many instruments to describe the weather and to make forecasts. They use barometers to measure air pressure, thermometer to measure temperature, anemometer to measure the wind speed, rain gauge to measure how much precipitation has fallen, and weather vane to see which direction the wind is blowing.

Next week: Chapter 7 science test and read In My Family.
