Field Trip
Students enjoyed a great day of exploring and learning at the Museum of Science and Industry. It was wonderful to hear all the connections that they made to our class work on forces and motion.
Reading/Science
Next week students will continue using reading strategies to enhance their understanding of forces, motion and magnetism. We will read different types of nonfiction to build our knowledge of Newton's Laws of Motion. Students will notice the different supports given in order to gain information from types of nonfiction texts such as literary nonfiction and science articles.
Writing
The beginning of our poetry unit has been spent closely reading poetry to notice techniques poets use. Next week we will continue learning techniques poets use as well as spending time applying our learning to write our own poems.
Math
Next week we will begin the second half of our unit which focuses on area and perimeter of polygons.
