Science - CCM Week #1

J.M.J.

In Science we learned about the 4 major layers of the earth:

Crust
Mantle
Outer Core
Inner Core

We covered a short lesson then the 2 younger classes made construction paper models and the older classes made clay models of the layers of the earth.  All of the classes were knowledgeable about the subject and had good attitudes.

After seeing the different abilities of the classes, we have decided that the Benedictines will do more assembly projects, the Carmelites will do more cut and paste projects and the Dominicans and Franciscans will take notes in addition to doing their more complex projects.

We are also going to work on classroom etiquette including raising hands, listening without talking and allowing others to answer without talking over them. 

We have a great group of kids and I will try my best to make this a good learning experience for all of them!

No homework.

- Next week we are going to learn about the different ways mountains form on the earth's surface.
