1.28

Hello Families,

Hello Families! Students enjoyed learning about Martin Luther King, Jr. last week. Come by and check out the poems they wrote about him. His story is such an inspiration to us all.
This week in reading we'll begin our next novel study - The Flyer Flew! It's a nonfiction selection about the Wright Brothers. Our comprehension focus is problem and solution. In spelling we'll practice the ou and ow as in sound and allow. In grammar we'll finish up adjectives.

To connect with the topic in The Flyer Flew!, we'll explore force, motion, and gravity in unit study this week. We'll test how objects move, and the force of gravity on different objects. Students will be amazed at what they discover!

In math this week we'll begin a large measurement unit. We'll begin this week with measuring length. Students will determine what unit to use to measure objects. Students will choose between inches, feet, yards, as well as the metric system units - cm and m.
