With the celebration of Columbus Day Monday and an SIP on a shortened Friday, WHE learners had an atypical short week. Our Language Arts Unit took us to coastal Australia as we learned about Harbor Seal Pups. We discovered many endangered animals as we took our LA unit one step further and discovered endangered species all around us. Our science unit coincided with this study as we learned how to "save a whale" if we ever come upon one in White Hall. (The class decided that it would be unlikely).
Our math unit took us deeper into money and time. We have been telling time to the 5 minute mark for some time and now we have started telling time to the exact minute. We are all surprised at how easy it came to us. The Promethean board has been indispensable as we use it in all facets of our day. With our new "egg" activotes we have been able to all participate in great math units with time and money. We look forward to developing our skills with this new technology.
