This week, we will start a unit on poetry. We will learn that poems are made of stanzas and work to understand how each stanza builds and creates the poem’s story. We will refer to the term “stanza” when speaking or writing about poetry.
In Social Studies, we will get to know Dr. King Jr. a little bit better. We will also begin a unit on communities where we explore the different types communities and how they compare and contrast to our community. This will tie directly into our reading of Stone Fox.
Last week in science, we started our life and animal survival unit. This week, we should be get our class crayfish. We will have four to eight crayfish in class. Through close observation, students can learn interesting details about animal structures while developing sensitivity to the needs of living organisms.
In math, we will bring our three digit addition and subtraction unit to a close. If your student is struggling with this classwork or homework, xtramath.org really helps give students confidence as they perform more advanced mathematical computations.
Students should continue to work on their book challenge nightly, reading for 20 minutes. This can be any type of reading, as long as a record is kept of how many pages were read. Students can complete digital homework. Freckle, ST Math, Socrates, and Prodigy are aligned with what we are currently learning.
