February 29-March 4

Writing

This week in writing, students will use a variety of mentor texts to inspire them as they create their own short poems using rhyme, rhythm, repetition, and alliteration!

Reading

This week in reading we are continuing our unit on poetry and sensory language.

Students will make inferences and draw conclusions about the structure and elements of poetry. We will learn how rhyme, rhythm, and repetition interact to create images in poetry.  Students will be introduced to a fun variety of poetry from famous poets!

Math

We will be wrapping up boot camp and moving on to 4 digit place value. We will be going over numbers into the thousands with addition and subtraction.  We will also be reviewing skills we have covered so far this year in math.

Support our classroom learning by having your child complete these in IXL:

1. M.3 Place value models - up to thousands
2. M.6 Place value - up to thousands
3. M.11 Convert to/from a number - up to thousands
4. M.12 Convert between place values - up to thousands

Science and Social Studies:

We will be finishing up weather and water cycle this week in science.  We will add our weather and water onto our maps of our countries and then these will be displayed in our hallway.  At the end of the week we will have a visit from Dowser Dan about the water cycle and water conservation.
