Weekly Objectives:

Writing:  This week, we will continue our second writing unit, 
Adapting and Writing Fairy Tales.  Last week we were able to choose any fairy tale that we wanted and we began creating our own adaptations.  This week, we will focus on adding actions to accompany our dialogue as well as collecting ideas in order to create our very own original fairy tales!  

Reading: This week we will continue our second unit: Character Studies.  We will focus on the role that illustrations play in our texts as well as the importance of the turning point in our character's story mountain.

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.

Math:  This week we will continue Chapter 4: Understanding Multiplication.  We are going to focus on using arrays and the Commutative Property of Multiplication in order to understand multiplication.  We will also make tables as a strategy for solving multiplication problems.  

Have a great week!
