Math: We are beginning our weight unit! While you are out this weekend, point out in the grocery store the scales used for produce and that it is used to see how heavy something is. Bathroom scales bring out the same kind of curiosity (weighing books, toys, etc.)
History: Next week we are finally digging back in to Ancient India after a long break. The students will learn how Siddhartha became Buddha and begin to learn about Buddhism. They will also understand the lesson in a Buddhist Jataka tale. Here is a website with more Jatakas Tales, if you would like to read some at home this week.
