We will be reviewing multiplication and division this week. Students who have mastered these skills will be given a challenge activity.
Reading
We will be finishing up compare and contrast on Monday.
We will begin Mood and Tone on Tuesday. We will start by creating an anchor chart for mood and tone, because these are commonly confused. We will be looking at how authors use multimedia elements to contribute to the overall mood and tone of a story.
Writing
Students will begin their Heritage Project poems on Monday. We will be drafting the poems, and students will be given computer time throughout the week. Students are more than welcome to type these at home.
We will continue to work on personal narratives this week. We are focusing on interjections and conjunctions.
Science
We will continue with our motion and design unit. We will be going over the three types of heat transfer. We will also go over potential energy and kinetic energy.
