4th-6th Grade: Co-op Week 15

Religion: Mrs. Powell did an excellent job going through the Triduum and Mercy Sunday with the kids.

Latin: The class worked together to translate sentences and then answered aloud the questions from Lesson 13.

English: The children learned how to use a mind map to brainstorm ideas for a story. We also discussed the rules of using quotation marks. They are to use these skills for their homework assignment* which comes from Lesson 92 in ILL.

Science: After discussing what producers, consumers and decomposers are, we went outside to see if we could find any examples of these. I then passed out pictures of different living things, and had the children put them in correct order to make a food chain.

History: We had a wonderful presentation on Socrates, which tied in well with our history lesson as we were able to mention that Alexander the Great was taught by another famous philosopher: Aristotle. The children listened to me read about Alexander the Great, and then we looked over a map of his expeditions and discussed a few points of his life.

*The Homework Assignments sheet was passed out to the students.
