Fourth quarter has begun and Spring Break will be here next week!
This week in reading, we are reading some fictional stories and reviewing the words tone and mood. We started by reading a story called Sweet Music in Harlem and will end the week reading The Tortoise and the Hare. We are also talking about how the visuals affect the tone and meaning of the story.
In writing, we started our planet project. We watched a video about all of the planets and then each child chose the planet he/she wanted to research. Ask you child which planet he/she chose! We will be reading and researching details about these planets in order to write a report/essay about it. Today we brainstormed main ideas and tomorrow will write notes under each one in order to develop an essay.
The planet project should be completed at home and is due Friday, April 1. Students will have to present their projects that day to the class. Click here for the project. It will be given out before spring break so it can be worked on ahead of time if needed. The project can be made on the computer or using paper, it is up to each child. There will be no reading log due April 1 because this will replace it.
*Reading Log due this Friday, March 18 for all students. Have a great Spring Break!
