Good Week!
Our last week before conferences is busy! We will witness Mr. Vestal and Ms. Speer's classes' Travel Expos. We all have been working hard to finish up our presentations. We will also be working hard to finish out planet presentations and begin presenting on Wednesday. We finish our week with a community bike ride with our Bike Transit Authority leader Sheilagh. After our break, we will get back into our imaginative writing pieces. We will also continue with our geometry unit in math, particularly finding the area of triangles and parallelograms. We have been learning about the difference between congruent figures and similar figures. In reading, we will finish "Island of the Blue Dolphin." PLEASE REMEMBER to work on your book report/newspaper for your fiction books! Everyone is hard at work reading their book report book. Please ask your child about the plot. We have been working on explaining plot by speaking of what happened in the beginning, middle, and end, and what was the problem and solution, especially when considering the CLIMAX. Also, a good plot synopsis has information about the characters and setting. We created a plot line to show how stories typically travel, starting low by introducing the problem and climbing to the climax, at which resolving the problem. I am very excited to see you all for conferences. Thank you for supporting your child and our classroom! Upcoming walking field trip: Reed's Cooley Art Gallery: Soviet Graphic Arts and Photography 1905-1990. This looks really good. Please contact me if you would like to chaperone. If so, please fill out a background check form in office.
