On Friday, we celebrated our realistic fiction narratives! Students gave group members awards such as "Leadership with Leads," "Dynamite Dialogue," and "Super Story Arc!" Students should have brought home a copy of their paper. Our next unit is essay writing. We with start with an "essay boot camp" and write a personal essay about something we love. Then, we will write a persuasive essay. We will spend a lot of time learning the structure of an essay.
Reading
Students are loving our new read aloud, "Wonder!" We are studying characters, root words, and identifying figurative language.
Math
We are now in Chapter 4 and will be multiplying by multi-digit numbers. Make sure your child continues to study their facts at home.
Social Studies
We have started our new social studies unit on American Indians. Right now we are learning about migration and the various regions different tribes lived. We will start our diorama project this week. Again, a big thank you to families who have donated items! If you would still like to send in items, we could use scotch tape, sand paper, modeling clay or Play-Doh, and toothpicks.
