It's going to be a weird but wonderful week! We have a Half Day on Tuesday so that we teachers can collaborate on lesson design, and we're traveling to City Roots on Wednesday. Students who made the Honor Roll will celebrate with hats and pizza on Thursday, and the Relay for Life Bake Sale is on Friday!
With all of that going on, it's easy to get distracted-- but we have some very important work to do this week, so we are going to stay focused! Thank you for all you do to help your child come to school ready to learn every day and to study and complete homework each night.
Here's what we're working on:
Reading and Writing: We will begin a brief study of analyzing and creating poetry this Thursday. I have gotten engrossed in a LOT of poems while planning this unit, and I can't wait to share them with the kids! It will also be exciting for them to see "Super-Writer's" tricks being put to use in real contexts.
Word Study: We are exploring one more round of Latin roots: VIS (see), AUD (hear), and DIC (speak/tell).
Social Studies: The students created some AWESOME review games to wrap up our study of Westward Expansion, and I know their hard work will pay off on Tuesday's test! After we return from City Roots, we will jump into our final unit of the year: the dreaded Civil War.
