Hi parents (and students reading this :0)!
Let's get the week started, shall we?
On Monday, September 10- we will have pictures taken at 12:24. To make sure the students look the same way they arrived to school, we will not have recess until after photos. Normally, we go to recess at 11:05. This will change our day a little, but we will still fit in every bit of learning as possible.
Reading- We are reading Love That Dog and loving it (at least I am), a book about a boy learning to understand poetry. The vocabulary we have discussed includes: personification, alliteration, stanza, imagery, and rhyme. We will discuss hyperbole, onamatopoeia, repetition, simile, and metaphor this week. Review of these words and how they relate to poetry will continue throughout this week. They will have a test over the vocabulary words on Friday, September 14.
Writing- Our work on fictional narrative writing continues. We will develop characters this week.
Math- We are moving right along with adding large numbers with regrouping. We are using base ten blocks to help us conceptualize regrouping.
Social Studies- We are learning about the European explorers and their journey and their interactions with American Indians. Students will have an open note test on Friday.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
