April 28 (Friday Review)


Thursday, we learned about Take Your Daughter or Son to Work Day and thought about jobs and working.



Wednesday, we celebrated Audubon Day, named after John James Audubon, an artist and ornithologist.




 Tuesday, we celebrated Ella Fitzgerald's birthday and listened to The First Lady of Song sing "Dream a Little Dream" with Louis Armstrong.

Monday, we learned that scientists believe that it might be raining diamonds on Saturn and Jupiter because of the carbon and methane in their atmospheres.


Here is the Friday Review Worksheet!
