Reading: (3rd and 4th): This week we learned about first and third person point of view. We had our first Latin\Greek test. Overall they did very good! They received their new spelling words and will have a test on Thursday. This week we will start using Edmodo. Have your child tell you all about it.
Writing: We have almost learned how to write all of the lower case letters in cursive. We will learn the last 2 on Monday and then begin the capital letters! We finished up our ant opinion writing. We also wrote letters to our 8th grade buddies. Next week we will do another opinion writing.
Projects: We started our new project this week. It is called Back to the Future. We will be comparing how life was 150 years ago to today. We started off by exploring some things from 150 years ago. We played some games, washed clothes and sifted flour amongst other things. The favorite thing we did though was make butter! They were all so excited about doing this and asked where we got the special liquid in the jar :) We just put heavy whipping cream in a mason jar and took turns shaking. Once the butter was made we tried some on a cracker. It was yummy!
