DNA, Beatles, French Class and Social Studies

This is Aria. 

In Science we've been learning about DNA. DNA is "self-replicating material that is present in nearly all living organisms as the main part of chromosomes. It carries genetic information." An organism is "an individual animal, plant or single-cell life form." Chromosome is "a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and proteins found in the nucleus of most living cells (it contains genetic information in the form of genes." A Gene is "part of a chromosome which is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristics of offspring."

I made an edible DNA craft. It was yummy. It was made out of marshmallows and black licorice and toothpicks.

Next we did music. We learned about The Beatles. We read a book and did two papers with questions about that the book answered. I learned that The Beatles are quite old. There are two still living, Paul and Ringo. They have nice music. They broke up in 1970. They were together for 7 years. They got together in 1963. 

For French we learned about the days of the week. Today is Wednesday (Mercredi). Last week we learned colours. The week before we learned about numbers. 

For Social Studies (not today) we learned about North America and dinosaurs. Right now we are learning about Canada. There are 10 provinces and 3 territories.  When we did dinosaurs we read books and did papers and we watched a documentary. 

For math I learned how to read an analog clock. We did multiplication and skip counting. For example: 100, 200, 300, 400, 500. 

For literacy I've been learning to spell and working on pronunciation. We read poems and learned about paintings.
