Writing and Reading:
We're immersing ourselves in poetry this week. Students will read lots of poetry and learn about different poetic devices such as alliteration, onomatopoeia, and repetition. Students will also learn how rhyme and rhythm affect how a poem is read. A poem often has multiple meanings and so students will dive deep into the analysis of these poems to figure out the author's meaning. Finally, after lots of exposure to many different kinds of poems, students will begin writing their own poetry, using rhyme and rhythm to convey their message.
Math:
We've been learning how to add 3 digit numbers the last week and that will continue this week with a quest to solve many different word problems. Students will take a short assessment to see what they have learned. Later in the week, we will dive into 3 digit subtraction with regrouping. We will practice regrouping in the hundreds and tens place and practice using games, I-spies, and word problems.
Science:
We are beginning an exciting unit on plants and animals this week. We are beginning by looking at ecosystems and living and non-living things. Then we will learn how every living thing comes back to energy from the sun. Students will also learn about a plant's basic needs. Then on Friday, we are beginning science enrichment clubs. Students will get to choose a club to be a part of and they will go to it every Friday for several weeks.
Reminders:
