Land of READ-A-LOT
Maidens and Lords read the last of three fabulous storybooks by our famed author, Patricia Polacco! What an amazing writer, who presented us with thoughtful and meaningful life lessons. The students worked hard to identify the story elements of character, plot, setting and theme!
Missions in Math
The Kingdom completed their "Real World Experience" for multiplication and division. Engage your child in conversation over what the most important difference is between these operations. Discuss if these operations are more alike or more different!
Soaring in Science
Science will be on hiatus while we transition back to social studies. We will start with a study of how people improve their communities. Make sure you have your child share their replicated artifact!!
WRITING that is Worthwhile
Our Maidens and Lords worked very hard organizing a MEL-CON this week. This type of writing is very detailed and requires the students to read two nonfiction articles and search for evidence that supports a given purpose question. This week we finished our organizers and wrote well developed paragraphs to persuade readers why we do or do not think schools should can (remove) junk food!!
