Week Overview
Reading - We finished up our reading topic on plants. We started our new topic of marine/saltwater habitats with some nonfiction books. We will continue this next week. Follow our learning on our mind map.
Writing -  We published our fiction stories and started working on sentence structure. A complete sentence has a subject (who?), a predicate (what are they doing?), a capital letter, and punctuation. We will continue this next week.
Read Aloud - We compared fractured fairy tales to their original stories. We will identify synonyms and antonyms and their meanings next week.
Math - We finished our time unit and reviewed how to read a calendar (which is also telling time!). We will do a week-long unit on measuring to the nearest inch using a ruler next week.
Social Studies We started our Famous Americans unit by learning about Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, and George Washington Carver. We will learn about Helen Keller, Thurgood Marshall, and Rosa Parks next week.
Handwriting - We learned how to write "y" in cursive this week and practiced our cursive.

Have a fantastic weekend,
