Writing:
This week students can choose what they want to write about, but our focus is dialogue. Students will learn to use quotation marks and practice putting them into a story with a beginning, middle, and end. Students will also practice editing and fixing up their stories before publishing a final copy.
Reading:
Yee Haw! We're fixin' to read some Texas fairy tales, y'all! We will read the "Texas" version of several popular fairy tales and see what the author changed to make it fit into our local culture. Students will also brush up on their "Texas" vernacular and add some good phrases to their vocabulary.
Math:
Left, left, left, right, left. It's Problem Solving Boot Camp time. Multi-step word problems are difficult, so we're spending two weeks focusing only on that. Students will be in teams and have to complete several problem solving "missions" before they can graduate from Problem Solving Boot Camp!
Science:
This week we will be observing the moon and its changes. Students will learn that the moon follows a pattern and how it never actually changes shape. We will learn about the moon phases and keep a journal so we can follow its progress.
