Writing and Reading:
We have a few more days of poetry to cover. We're going to be writing and reading lots of different kinds of poems, including an acrostic poem, a rhyming poem, and a free verse poem. Kids will pick their favorite poem and publish it using a medium of their choice. Later in the week, we are kicking off our big research unit. Kids will choose an animal to research, learn lots of new facts, write a research paper, and create a product to showcase what they learned. This will take several weeks and we will be starting with goal setting and the beginning stages of research.
Math:
We are continuing 3 digit subtraction. Students will learn how to subtract across zeroes, play games, and solve a word problem riddle, all to give them more practice on this important skill.
Science:
Our study of plants will continue as we learn about the parts and function of a plant. We will look at different plants that we eat and what part of the plant it is. We will grow our own plant people and learn how a seed comes with its own "lunchbox" to help nurture it as it sprouts. On Friday, kids have picked their science club and will be attending the first session of it!
Reminders:
Field trip: April 4th- close-toed shoes and disposable lunch
Family Fun and Fit Night: April 6th, 6:30-7:30. Kids must be with an adult.
