Mid February Update

Quarter 3 is almost half way over and Interims will be sent home next week. 

Writing- We will begin our Book Review writing unit next week. This is one of my favorite writing genres to teach.  We will be reading and reviewing lots of books over the next couple of weeks.   

Reading- The students will be reading informational texts and finding the main-idea. 

Health- We will finish our Dental Health Unit on Monday and will then learn about pollution. 

Math- My math class took their Geometry Unit Test on Friday and Measurement will start on Monday.  We will start learning about standard and metric units of linear measurement, using rulers and yard sticks, and determining the appropriate unit of measurement. 

February Update

Writing: We began the Poster/Advertisement Unit last week.  The kids are working on posters for dental health, persuading others to take care of their teeth.  We will continue this unit for a couple more weeks.  

Reading: Our skill for the week is making connections and identifying story elements.  

Math: We are still working hard on the geometry unit.  Our concepts for this week include angles, congruency vs. similarity, and line symmetry.
