Indiana Tourism Project
The students did wonderful on their projects. Thank you to all those who came, asked questions, and let them talk to you about their regions of tourism!
Math:
We are moving into Unit 13 today. We will continue our work with fractions, as well as adding decimals and looking at how these two can relate to one another.
Reading:
This week we begin our poetry unit! We will spend a large amount of time immersing ourselves in poetry this week and exploring what we find. As we begin to study and enjoy poetry, we will look at what makes poetry unique and how we can use this art form in our lives too.
Writing
Our poetry work will continue into our writing time. We will focus on free verse poems and using poetry as another form of expression. This week we will also focus on figurative language and review these skills so that we can apply them to our own poetry. This may be a time for you to try your hand at poetry along with your child!
