Curriculum Updates: We will be wrapping up our study of social studies Chapter 15 on the amendments. We will be doing a project where students will look at various scenarios and determine if/how rights were violated. In reading, we are transitioning from our poetry unit to a content-based unit which connects to our upcoming study of ecosystems in two weeks. To wrap up the poetry unit, students will be writing me a letter about a poem of their choice and dissecting the figurative language and big ideas. Additionally, 5th grade students will prepare a Poem Pocket T-shirt for our grade-level poetry slam. In writing, we are on Book 3 of WEX which is developing a fictional story in mundane situations. We will continue to alternate practicing grammar with our Greek/Latin Word Roots study and grammar skill packets.
