This week in ELA the main focus was poetry. We had a real poet come to help guide the children in writing their own poems. The students also drafted and created their own poems in class. They enjoyed watching some clips of real slam poets and observed how to present a poem.
Please have them practice reading their poems at home.
We also finished our unit on understanding different traits of characters.
Math:
This week in math we focus on irregular forms of measurement. The students enjoyed working together to measure different things inside the classroom.
They all seem to have a good grasp on this concept.
Social studies:
We are continuing to focus on cultures. Most of the students completed their family interviews. If they have not please get it to me soon. Additionally, please send in a photo or photos if you haven`t. This week we were very excited to welcome Ayame`s family from Norway. The students loved listening to a presentation about the different traditions in Norway.
Science:
We are focusing on the water-cycle and properties of water. We focused on different bodies of water and ill continue to introduce this topic next week.
We finished the week by taking the students to the park. They all seemed to have such a great time and many asked if we could go again.
Have a great weekend!!!
