Wednesday
Happy Wednesday!
I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend.
We started off our week by continuing our study of patterns. We have been learning about different types of patterns including patterns with shapes and numbers that are either increasing or decreasing. Ask me what an attribute is and how to write a proper pattern rule.
In science, we are continuing our research on different types of vertebrates and invertebrates. So far, we have researched fish, mammals, and birds. Ask me to explain a few of the characteristics that separate these animals from one another (hint: think about their different body coverings, the ways that they breathe, the number of legs that they have, where they live, and so on).
In social studies, we have been researching Peru and reviewing quality of life. Over the next few weeks, we will be looking at goods and services.
In language arts, we have been practicing writing our own main events. We learned that the main event is not a whole story but it is the biggest part of a story and should include 5 key things. Ask me what these are.
On a side note, we are hoping to do a bit of splatter painting tomorrow as part of an art project that we are working on. Please remember to bring a sweater or t-shirt that would be okay to possibly get a little bit of paint on. Splatter painting is fun but can be very messy! Stay tuned to see the finished product.
Updates/reminders:
- Keep up with home reading! Some of us have not changed our books in a very long time which is okay as long as we are still reading outside of school - Razzkids is another great option!
- Fun lunch on Friday
- The Great Book Exchange is on June 8 and we are still accepting donations!
