What a fantastic, fun-filled day of learning in Target and Reading/Math Extension!
Unit Study:
We used our math skills to learn about the Vitruvian Man and measure ourselves. Learning to measure in both Centimeters and Inches was challenging! We'll do more measurements next time.
We watched a slow motion video of birds flying. It was fascinating to see how the wings and feathers move! The kids then measured different types of feathers.
Next, we read another chapter of our book. We learned about daVinci's fresco and how the fires didn't help dry it. We also watched "Art with Madi and Dada-daVinci" to learn more about Leonardo's work. The kids researched Florence, since that was where daVinci lived for some of his life.
Because it rained again, we studied cloud shapes using a cool powerpoint. The kids drew amazing things out of those clouds! Finally the kids identified Italy and other countries in Europe on a map. They also colored the Italian flag.
Until next time,
Dr. Kraeger
