What We Have and Will Be Learning About! 

• Writing: This week we have been creating poems using similes and metaphors. We wrote practice lines and poems, then published them into our poetry notebooks with illustrations. Next week we will be focusing on using alliteration and idioms. 

• Social Studies: This week we got our Famous Missourians and have started researching about their life. For example, their childhood, schooling, their impact on Missouri, etc. We will continue to do through research for the next couple of weeks. 

• Math: We had such a great time learning from different teachers this week! Students learned about length, weight, time, and capacity volume. Next week our focus is triangles, regular vs. irregular shapes with symmetry, mirroring, rotating and slides. Also 3D shapes and area/perimeter will be covered next week. 

• Reading: We are obsessed with how good House Arrest is! We have been working on answering higher level thinking questions about the book during our whole group time.
