Headed toward the finish line! This week we continued reading/viewing/writing poems. We focused on using imagery, figurative language, and sensory details with poetry. Next week we will conclude the poetry unit by presenting their best work.

We have wrapped up our last unit on weather & climate! We’ll be watching and discussing the movie, Apollo 13, next week.

Monday and Tuesday of this week we had a couple of lessons focusing on US culture in the 1980s & 1990s with music specifically. Be sure to ask your child about this and see what songs they liked and which ones they may have hated. :)

The rest of the week we have focused on major events of the 2000s and students will be wrapping up this last major assignment on Monday May 24.

Next week is of course our last week, and our final focus will be on current events, things going on now. Students will, as a final exercise, search for something positive going on in the world that people should know about.
