March Character Trait - Citizenship
English Language Arts
In writing we're learning lots of types of figurative language that can make poetry better. We've learned simile, metaphor and alliteration so far. We've got many more like personification, hyperbole, onomatopoeia and more to go.
Reading with buddies
Hermit Crab Stories or Poems
New Class Pets
Science and Social Studies
In social studies we've learned lots about the Constitution, the three branches of government, voting and the Bill of Rights. We're wrapping this unit up soon and will be moving back to Project Lead the Way Energy Conversions after Spring Break.
Math
We will also be reviewing old concepts and previewing new concepts to help us prepare for the MAP test which is quickly approaching. A great Spring Break activity for your child would be to spend some time on MobyMax doing Reading Literature or Reading Informational to practice for the ELA part of MAP and doing MobyMax Math and Fact Master to prepare for the Math side of the MAP test.
