Week 33

We had a busy week! Our first Shakespeare class focused on archetypes and our students were challenged to improvise a character type as the character checks into a hotel. We also had our Earth Day activities, culminating in our parade around the block with our Buddy class.

Here's what to expect next week:

• In Writing Workshop, we will learn about literary essays. Students are familiar with the essay format. We will use that format as we write about stories that we will read analytically and discuss the universal themes found in the stories.
• In Math, we will return to geometry and focus on finding the volume of a prism. We will also return to multiplication, only this time we'll multiply decimals.

For our poll question, 1/4 of sixteen ounces is 4 oz. Thanks for voting. Check out our new question!

My thanks to the parents who came to our Shakespeare planning meeting and our First Friday class. It was fun for our buddies to meet our moms and dads! If you were unable to attend the Shakespeare meeting, and would like to volunteer to help with our show, please send a note to me.

Have a wonderful, warm weekend!
