Writing - Unit 2 Realistic Narratives have been published and celebrated! Stories will be coming home in your student's Thursday Folder along with a green half sheet with the grade. Unit 3 will focus on writing a brochure. Students have completed the prewriting part of the Writer's Process and have chosen a place to write about that they know very well. In the coming weeks, we will be deciding on sections and focusing on how to make our writing descriptive and persuasive.
Science - Students are learning about magnetism and electricity right now. This week and next week's focus will be on circuits- how to build them and what makes them work.
