Even though we have had a short week, it's been a blast! Read below to hear about our awesome field trip that we will be taking and what we have been doing in the classroom this week!
What's Happening in the Classroom?
In Reading, we have been discussing the theme in literature, nonfiction, and poetry. We have distinguished the difference between theme and plot.
In Language Arts, we focused on dialogue and quotation marks this week. We also focused on the double consonant spelling skill.
In Math this week, we began our journey with geometry with topics such as lines, angles, and how to measure the degrees in an angle. The learners practiced drawing and classifying different types of lines and angles. We also began to use protractors to measure angles. We practiced the essential vocabulary words using a Quizlet. This can also be practiced at home using this link: https://quizlet.com/_3c2fp6
In Social Studies, we have been learning about the Runaway Scrape, and how colonists had to abandon their homes after the fall of the Alamo. Learners created tweets as if they were colonists in the Runaway Scrape, and they wrote from the point of view of a Texas colonist.
In Science, we continued to design our pathway of electricity from different energy sources. We are using Google Drawings to map out the process that every and electricity go through and the impact that it has on wildlife.
