Weekly Objectives:

Writing:  This week, we will continue our second writing unit, Adapting and Writing Fairy Tales. This week, students will be taking all that we have learned about adapting fairy tales and creating their very own, original fairy tale!  We will focus on using descriptive language as well as revising the magic that is seen in their fairy tale.

Reading: This week we will continue our second unit: Character Studies.  We will focus on comparing and contrasting the characters in our books, their problems, and the lessons they learn.

Science:  This week we will continue our next science unit, chapter 4: Living Things.  We will focus on the life cycle of mammals, reptiles, and amphibians.  The test for this chapter will be on Friday.  Be on the lookout for a study guide!

Math:  This week we will finish up Chapter 4: Understanding Multiplication.  Our test is on Tuesday.  Study guides were sent home last week.  On Wednesday we will begin Chapter 5: Understand Division.  

Have a great week!
