Language
This week’s focus was story writing using pictures to help with ideas. The students continue to work on “showing” and not “Telling” by using detail and adjectives to make their story writing more creative.
The students have been practicing spelling skills through working with words. This is a fun activity where the students are given letters that they have to use (only the letters given) to create different words.
Next week we will be continuing with story writing. The students will be learning how to create their own stories without using pictures. There will be the introduction of using an outline to organize their thoughts.
Math
This is the last week we will be working on 2D concepts. The students are working on a final assignment where they have to use their knowledge of 2D shapes and measurement to create an Alien Shape. They have been given instructions they have to follow (has to be a certain height and width and can only use certain shapes) to create this shapey.
Monday we will be starting the 3D unit.
Social Studies
The students continue to have fun researching different countries. Reminder that the information for their country project is due on Monday. We will be starting to display the information in a pamphlet on Wednesday.
With the warmer wetter weather here it is recommended that you send extra clothing for your child (especially socks).
