Reading: We will be discussing how to correctly quote an article or book when responding to reading as well as how to dig deeper into articles and stories.

Writing: We will be starting our first opinion essay of the year. This week, we will get into the format of an opinion essay.

Science: This week will be fun! The kids will be creating their own investigation to prove that air is matter. Their materials will be one balloon, a scale, and a tape measure. They’ll also be using their understanding of properties and characteristics.

Social Studies: We will continue to work on understanding the Federal Government and Constitution.

We will also be focusing on using compassion and empathy this week during our daily community meetings in our classroom. Each day, we will start with a community meeting to help strengthen our social/emotional skills.

Other news: If you ordered from Scholastic, the books will be here this week, I believe. There was a system error on scholastic’s website and the order was delayed. Thanks for your patience!
