Curriculum Corner
We will spend this week learning about figurative language: similes, metaphors, hyperboles, idioms, personification, alliteration, onomatopoeia, allusion, and oxymorons. We will also be completing ISTEP+ practice.
Math:
We will be continuing unit 6 this week. We will be focusing on interpreting remainders, measuring and drawing angles with full and half circle protractors, and adding angles together to find the measurement of a larger angle. Study guides for unit 6 were passed out today. They will be due Wednesday, April 18 and the test will be Friday, April 20.
Science:
We will spend the final part of our school year studying traits, heredity, and plant & animal adaptations. This week, we are focusing on traits, that traits are inherited from parents through genes, learned behavior vs. instinct, and the need to adapt for a species to survive.
Welcome back!
