Salmon Week 15 Update
December 18th - 22nd
Have a Merry Christmas and see you in the New Year!!
Overview
Reading: We are comparing and contrasting Poems, Prose (stories), and Drama this past two weeks. Students should be able to describe how the elements in each are different and how they add to the reader's understanding. A few vocabulary words:
Poems:
stanza, line, rhyme, meter
Drama:
cast of characters, dialogue, act, scene, stage directions
Prose:
Paragraph, Plot
Writing: Our focus is still on the Opinion Writing. We have written several in our classroom writing and you are welcome to view them there.
Science: Our unit on Light Waves will be wrapping up prior to break. Thank you Mrs. Schuneman for coming in and sharing about lights and lasers.
Social Studies: We completed a quiz in Google Classroom over the Southeast region and this was a great introduction to taking assessments on line. We are starting the Northeast region and this will continue for into January/February.

fight_hunger_with_KidsPack
Did you know that 1 in 5 Montana children struggles with hunger? Our school is working to bridge that gap by providing Healthy KidsPack bags. This weekend nourishment is offered every Friday and helps to support Kiddos over the weekend to ensure they arrive on Monday fed and ready to learn.
Can you help us support this program? Consider sponsoring a child or school this holiday season. Visit our classy page or gallatinvalleyfoodbank.org to learn more.
