What We're Studying and Learning...
Reading- We will be learning how to read and analyze narrative poetry. Students will be learning how to identify point of view, characters and plot within a poem.
Handwriting- We will add the cursive d this week.
Writing- We will introduce how to write poetry. Our goal is to study narrative poems and try to write a narrative poem.
Math- We will begin our investigation of perimeter! Students will learn to measure for perimeter using rulers and grid paper. They’ll also find the missing perimeter using information they have on hand. Ask your child how they would find the perimeter of a shape. *We’ll also review telling time and finding how many hours and minutes are in problems presented.
Science- In science, we will be introducing changing matter and combining materials. The students will explore with changes from heat and learn about chemical and physical changes to matter. Ask you child what is a chemical/physical change?
