💡WHAT WE ARE LEARNING THIS WEEK
Reading / Literature: Elmer had finally rescued the dragon in the last two Chapters of My Father's Dragon! We saw how they showed perseverance despite all the difficulties. We will continue their adventures out of Wild Island in the next book, "Elmer and the Dragon" starting on Monday.
Poetry:
The Village Blacksmith
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Under a spreading chestnut-tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, a mighty man is he,
With large and sinewy hands,
And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are strong as iron bands.
His hair is crisp, and black, and long;
His face is like the tan;
His brow is wet with honest sweat,
He earns whate'er he can,
And looks the whole world in the face,
For he owes not any man.
Week in, week out, from morn till night,
You can hear his bellows blow;
You can hear him swing his heavy sledge,
With measured beat and slow,
Like a sexton ringing the village bell,
When the evening sun is low.
Math: Our next unit is Data. Students learned what data was and how to present it through a picture graph and a tally chart. A Chapter Test will be given next Friday.
History: For this week's symbols, we talked about the seal of the President of the United States and the White House.
Science: This week we studied about volcanoes. We identified the different parts to a volcano. We even experimented on how a volcano works.
Thank you!
