Dear Loved Ones,
This week we learned a lot about Ancient Egypt. Yesterday we learned about 3 pharaohs, Cleopatra, Hatshepsut, and Tutankhamun. Cleopatra was the very last pharaoh of Ancient Egypt. She kidded herself with an asp. Hatshepsut was a queen who became the king. She wore a fake beard. Tutankhamun was a boy who because king at 11 and died at 20. When scientists studied his mummy, they discovered that he head showed injuries like he had been hit with a heavy object. They believe his vizier Ay killed him.. His tomb was made out of gold and it is the most visited tomb today. We made a "famous Pharaohs" foldable with information about them.
We learned a new Math gamed called "Domino Salute". The person who was the caller would pick a domino and tell the sum, then cover up one number with their thumb. The other players had to guess the number they were covering. Whoever guessed it got a point. We also learned about multiplication. Mrs. Deyoe showed us a way to represent multiplication called an Array. This is how you do it. For example, if you have 2X5, you would draw 2 dots vertically and then you would draw the other 4 horizontally. Then it would then give you the answer. It equals 10.
In Music we learned"Merrily We Roll Along". We're also doing free play on recorders. For the Volunteer Tea, we are going to sing about Scallywags. In Scallywags, we're talking about pirates, astronauts, dinosaurs, and the wild wild west. We can't wait to perform. We hope you have a great long weekend. XOXO
