Reading & Writing
In Reading, students were introduced to historical fiction. They explored various texts and learned specific skills. In writing, we began our poetry unit. Students experimented with creative ways to write poetry.

In science this week, students explored birds and their various types of beaks. We learned how the structure of a beak could determine what a bird can and cannot eat.
