Happy Friday! We visited the book fair this week and got lots of cool books.
In ELA this week we continued to read Peter Pan. We analyzed character actions, words, and thoughts to determine character traits and motivation. We also analyzed figurative language and found the meanings of unknown words. We also finished up learning all of the lowercase and uppercase cursive alphabet! Next week we will continue reading Peter Pan and will continue to analyze characters. We will practice writing our names and sentences in cursive.
This week in math we have explored unit fractions and naming/identifying fractions. We began exploring fractions on a number line. We will continue with number lines and introduce equivalent fractions next week.
We wrapped up forces and motion in science early this week and began our new unit on Earth in the Solar System. We have learned about what is in our solar system and the names/positions of the planets. Students picked a planet to compare to Earth. Next week they will research a little bit about all the planets.
