Spelling - Contractions
This week's spelling list consists of contractions, which are words resulting from shortening an original form. The vocabulary focus will be on types of figurative language. The final TEST is scheduled for Friday, 5/3
We will look at author's viewpoint through the eyes of poet Shel Silverstein. We will also revisit first and third person point of view. This will be followed by a look at the characteristics of poems. We will discuss and review poetic elements such as rhythm, rhyme, and repetition. Types of poetry (for example lyric poem, haiku or ode), will also be discussed.
Social Studies - The Southwest
Chapter 10 is coming along. We studied about the canyons of the southwest. Ask your child what they learned about how the Grand Canyon was formed.
The SW Map test will be tomorrow. Students need to know the states and capitals of the four states. They will need to label the Gulf of Mexico, Colorado River, Rio Grande, and Rocky Mountain Range. Bonus point will be given if they can label the country south of Texas.
