What We're Learning This Week
Word Study: We will review all of our root words from this quarter with a summative word study test on Friday. Students will receive a study guide on Monday, but it covers all of the roots that we have studied so far. Use the Root Word Review set on Quizlet to study.
Writing: We are continuing our study of opinion writing. We will focus on the structure and using transition words this week.
Reading: This week, we will continue our study of figurative language. Students will learn about hyperbole, idiom, onomatopoeia, personification, and alliteration. We will take a DG over just similes and metaphors on Wednesday.
