Reading: Students are continuing their book club discussions looking out for figurative language, signposts and inferences about characters. This week, we will also be discussing cause and effect. Students are working on their vocabulary in their books clubs, so each group has a different set of vocabulary words. Their vocabulary test will be Friday and the focus will mainly be using the vocabulary words in a sentence.
Language: The students are finishing up their persuasive letters to people in the school asking for changes to be made at school. A few have already turned their notes in, and I even heard from Dr. Lowry today that the students presented some really good arguments for their cases!
Math: Our focus will continue to be on geometry as well as noticing patterns. Later this week, students will also spend more time using a protractor.
Science: We will be studying animal adaptations that help animals to survive in certain habitats. Students will start working on a project (done completely in the classroom) where they research an animal and explain the features of the animal that help it to survive.
Alabama History: The students will be researching for the Wax Museum and of course, going to visit our state's capital!
