- In social studies, the class has been learning about the American Revolution. Last week, we mostly learned about the causes and effects that led to the revolution. This week, students learned about battles, the Continental Army, George Washington, and Patriots and Loyalists. Next week, we will learn about the end of the war, and students will create slogans.
- In ELA, students are finally finishing up their final copy of their favorite holiday essay. We have been spending a lot of time learning about figurative language. So far, students have learned about metaphors, similes, alliteration, and hyperbole. We have also been reading poetry, learning about it's structure, and finding examples of figurative language. The class continues to learn about foreshadowing. We also just finished our read aloud book, Weasel.
- We started our mythology projects. Students have chosen a myth, and are researching the myth to summarize it, identify the theme, find a modern day link, and to find cool facts about the characters in the myth. Please send in a tri-fold board by Monday, so that we can assemble the projects at school.
- In math, we have been spending a lot of time with long division. We cycled through stations a couple time this week. Next week, there will be an assessment on long division, and we will be starting fractions. I offer math help on Wednesdays after school, so if your child is in need of support, please have them stay after on this day.
Have a great weekend!
