Hello!
We’re back, and as busy as ever! It was a little review this week, then got right into it.
In language arts we started by writing about our spring break.
We then started our poetry unit. We learned about some poetic devices, such as alliteration, hyperbole, simile, and metaphor. We will use these techniques for the next couple of weeks.
In math we reviewed our operations, then jumped into fractions. We reviewed that fractions are pieces of a whole, and each piece must be equal. We then practiced drawing fractions through a Battleship game.
In science we started our inquiry project about the human body, where students needed to think of something they’ve ever wondered about with the human body. They have been researching and making a presentation for next week.
In French we learned about difference preference: adore (love), aime (like), n’aime pas (dont like), and deteste (hate). We then started researching for our French All About Me project for next week.
Earlier in the week I sent home a small Setting Price worksheet, for students to tell me how much money they have spent, and how many products they have made. This is due next week, so we can set out final price.
I also sent home a family survey to be completed over the next couple of week. Students are to gather information about where their family comes from.
Some big projects up ahead for sure. Next week we will finalize our price for our Young entrepreneur project, learn how to put a fraction on a number line in math, present our human body presentations, and finish our French All About Me. Should be a good week.
Have a good long weekend, and see you next week.
