This month we are doing Poetry in Motion.We are doing this to celebrate the shortest day and the longest night of winter (the Winter's Solstice). For this assignment we got to pick a friend or two to do it with.With your partner(s) you and will pick out a poem and memorize it.And you will perform it in front of the whole grade and guests.You also have to dress up, make simple props, and do a short skit with your group After the performances we will in enjoy a lovely breakfast.
Reading
This week in Reading, we wrote another letter to our epals in Moscow, Russia. We also received a video from them and we saw what they looked like and we saw what the lobby in their school looked like. It looked like a mall!! It was so cool! Also, we learned about commas. We learned where to put them when we are writing. For example, we learned to put a comma to set off words of the speaker : Sally said, "I am going to take the dog for a walk!" We also learned to put them in a sentence to separate a long phrase that comes before the main part of a sentence: When Paige talks on the phone, she talk for a long time.Finally, we learned to put a comma when we separate an interjection from the rest of the sentence : Wow, look at that! That is what we learned about this week in Reading.
Health
This week in Health we started a new unit. We are learning about drugs.We are also learning about marijuana and alcohol. Our last Health was Tuesday we talked about good drugs and bad drugs. Next week we are going to learn about different types of drugs.
