Celebration time! It’s the trimester celebration week, and we’ve been busy bees getting ready! Additionally, we’ve got student led conferences on Friday. See you all soon!
Reading: We’re kicking off the spring reading theme (Teamwork makes the dream work!) by starting a new read aloud tomorrow – Flora and Ulysses. And… if you’ve seen the movie, the book is MUCH better.
Writing: Students have been reflecting on their poetry units by choosing one of their own poems and one poem from a published poet to share at our poetry slam tomorrow. We watched some poetry videos to get some inspiration for performing poetry.
Language Study: This week, we played with word parts – specifically prefixes and suffixes.
Social Studies: We finished up our analysis of Columbus, and are turning our attention to other Age of Exploration explorers.
Science: Students wired their circuit boards in preparation for the celebration!
Math: We started a new unit on working with decimal numbers. This week we will learn about adding and subtracting.
