Week 21







Geography
If you haven't already, make or draw the map with all the memory locations! REALLY helps. We built a cool salt map. My kids may not know their LISTS so well, but they can find the geographical location fast!  Recipe below.

Territory RAP-Download and import into your player (itunes)


Woody in the east (eastern woodlands)
Plains in the middle
California Great Basin what do you know?
Northwest Coast and the Plateau
Down to the southwest, way down low

SALT DOUGH RECIPE
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup salt
1 cup water
Mix salt and flour, add water until similar to playdough. Color with food color if you like. Place on flat surface (we used an old corkboard), roll, shape and let dry.  Then paint etc.


English
My kids are having a tough time differentiating independent clause from a clause. We are working on the true understanding, but to help remember, we are drawing Santa living in his own house telling in a thought bubble that he doesn't need anyone! Silly, but the visual is sticking.


Math
