Happy, Happy Friday everyone!!
Writing: In writing this week, we continued publishing our information books and worked our posters. We are all getting very excited for our Expert Fair that is Wednesday, March 9th, at 9 AM! I look forward to seeing you there if you can make it!
Reading: In reading this week we discussed various types of figurative language that author's use in poetry. We learned about similes, metaphors, onomatopoeias, idoms, and hyperboles. The kiddos have done a great job of finding poems and books that use figurative language.
Social Studies: This week we began our interactive Oregon Trail game. The kids have been split up into groups and are on race to finish line. Each stop has an activity and there are many obstacles along the way! They are also keeping a diary along the way to keep track of their progress and make notes of topics they have researched.
Math: In math this week, we finished up our chapter on the measurement using the Customary System. We learned how to convert length, capacity, weight, and time. Yesterday, we started our next chapter on measurement using the Metric System. We will be giving a test next Friday, March 11th on chapters 11 and 12 together.
Upcoming Events:
3/8: Father/ Daughter Dance 6 PM
3/9: Expert Fair 9 AM
Important: Conference forms were sent home this week with the kiddos. If you received a yellow sheet, I am requesting a conference with you. If you received a white sheet, I am not requesting a conference but you have the choice to schedule one if you would like. The sooner I get your form back, the better chance there is for you to get a time that you want. As I'm typing this I see a few forms still in the kid's mailboxes, so if you didn't get one yet, it will hopefully make it to you on Monday! Thanks so much! :)
Have a nice weekend!
Sincerely,
Miss DiFranco
