Third Nine Weeks, Week 7

We are looking forward to the Winter Festival this Saturday from 12-4!

Reading: We are continuing to look at a variety of figurative language.  Students should be on the lookout for similes, metaphors, hyperboles, idioms, personification, onomatopoeias, and alliteration.  I also hope to see the students using these in their writing.

Language: Students are planning and drafting their essays about their heroes.

Math: We are still focusing on fractions this week, in particular adding and subtracting fractions.

Alabama History: The students will be learning about the three branches of government.  If you haven't had a discussion with your child about who you support for the upcoming presidential election, and why, this may be a good week to do so!
