The students took an open book and note Bible quiz today. They did a super job! In science we talked about addiction. You can be addicted to other things - not just drugs or alcohol. For example, video games or any other "idol." Anything that takes up your thoughts and attention and draws you away from spending time with your loved ones and changes your attitude, can be signs of addiction.
The 4th graders took their math tests and everyone is now on to chapter 3 in their Go Math books. Our picture today is of Samantha and Collin doing their Khan Academy during math rotations.
We are writing our supporting details for our opinion papers and we are still learning about inferences.
Our quote for today is from Chopra, “Mathematics expresses values that reflect the cosmos, including orderliness, balance, harmony, logic, and abstract beauty.”
I like how your increasing their simile references to common words and clichés...like, "addiction." Mr. Khan's website is truly an altruistic contribution to mankind. Your math for life is a tangible learning experience. That you make math an actual "experience" certainly engages their minds and soul. I'm reminded of the Fibonacci Principle and how God is telling us about His orderliness beautiful intricacies.
