2/5-2/8

Reminder:  Your child may bring in a Valentine for each student in the class.  Please only fill out the from section of the card. I will provide the treat for the Valentine party. 


Writing: The students are each researching a deep sea creature.  I love this writing assignment  because these creatures are all so unique!

Reading: We continued learning about text feature.  This week we focused on pictures and captions. 

The students received their new Latin/Greek words.  We will test on these on Thursday 2/15.

The students did a great job on their spelling tests!  

Grammar: The students learned about shades of meaning with related words.  We also reviewed parts of speech, quotation marks and irregular nouns.

Project:  We started our animal adaptation project.  The students will each create the ultimate animal to survive in a specific habitat.  We read about the 4 different habitats.  The students each got to pick which habitat they wanted their animal to be in. We then read about animal hands/feet.  The students filled out a note taker picking which animal hands/feet they want their animal to have.
