Writing
We have started our new unit, literary essay writing, and are currently reading the book "Fox." As we close read this book, I am really enjoying hearing students' deep thoughts! They are analyzing main characters, brainstorming possible themes, and noting the author's craft. I am impressed! This week we will continue to dig deeper and create our thesis statements!
Reading
Students are continuing in their book club groups. You can support book clubs at home by asking your child about their book and if they are keeping up with the assignments. Also, we have started our poetry unit and are discussing the figurative language and author's purpose and craft in poetry. Students are doing awesome with this!
Math
In Chapter 14, we are learning more about geometry. So far, we have reviewed points, lines, rays, and measuring and drawing acute, obtuse and right angles. This week we continue with triangles, quadrilaterals, and lines of symmetry. The Chapter 14 Test will be this Friday, April 6th.
Social Studies/Science
We have finished our study on westward expansion and the Civil War/slavery. Now we are moving on to our Forces and Motion unit in science with some fun labs ahead!
