We have another short week this week with no school on Friday.
In reading this week we will reread our two stories from this unit and review the skills of main idea, idioms, classifying words, multiple meaning words, and noun suffixes. We will also be working on our inquiry projects. The kids have been working on their murals and they are turning out great. They had to portray at least two extreme environments and then show animals that can survive in those environments. They then wrote captions describing adaptations that the different animals have in order to survive. Check out their progress so far!
In writing we are continuing to study poetry and we even have a guest teacher this week for poetry. On Tuesday for the next couple weeks Michelle Shannon (Luke's mom) will be doing a poetry unit with the kiddos. I am very excited for her to help us out with poetry, it should be fun! We will be focusing on animals, surroundings, and feelings.
Homework this week will also be due on Thursday: math review and reading log.
Early out on Thursday at noon. No school Friday the 18th or Monday the 21st. Enjoy your break!!
