Happy Friday! There was a lot of learning going on this week! I am so proud of how hard everyone is working. We finished reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone this week and we were so excited to begin The Chamber of Secrets.
We finished up Module 2 this week, wrapping up the last unit with writing 4 paragraph essays. Students picked a frog to research and wrote about their frog's adaptations. We then compiled all of our writing about frogs into a digital book. These books will be shared at Student-Led conferences in March. We will start a 2 week poetry unit next week. In this unit, we will learn to read, analyze structure, understand figurative language, and answer questions about poems. To celebrate Black History month, we will be reading poems from poets like Maya Angelou and Langston Hughes.
We have been learning all about geometry in math this week. Students have learned how to identify attributes of different quadrilaterals, such as rhombii, rectangles, squares, parallelograms, and trapezoids. We will continue to explore attributes next week and wrap up the unit.
In social studies we have learned about trade, bartering, and money. We learned about the different characteristics money should have. We also learned about scarcity and opportunity costs. We will discuss making production more efficient and do a project next week to wrap up the unit. We will then move on to forces and motion in science.
