January 30- February 3rd

Writing:
In writing this week, we are digging into persuasive texts. We will learn how to make an argument and then use facts and our opinions to persuade our reader. Our first persuasive text will be written to the city, requesting some extra safety features for our neighborhood. We will write a letter as a class and hope that they listen to our ideas!

Math:
It's going to be a long week in math as we dive into our study of length. We will start with inches, feet and yards and practice measuring different items with a ruler. We will also decide what unit of measurement will be appropriate for different items around the classroom. We will take a short assessment of what we've learned at the end of the week.

Reading:
We're working on inferences this week. We will take what we already know, add it to the clues the author gave us, and make an inference about what is happening in the book. We're going to use a familiar book, "Don't Take a Shark to the Dentist," to practice these skills. After reading the book, we will see if we can come up with our own "Don't" to give people some good advice.

Science:
We're learning about land forms this week. Students will become familiar with different kinds of land forms and where they can be found.

Reminders:
Library books: Due Friday
Skate Night: February 8th- 5:30
