In reading we read about the animal kingdom, which helps with our study of biomes next year. Students learned the different groups of vertebrates and invertebrates. We worked a lot on vocabulary and discussed prefixes and suffixes. Students were able to be very creative with this story. We began by creating fact or fib cards to share with the class. We used these in a game about the invertebrates. Then the students created poems that they will be acting out to share what they learned about the vertebrates.
In social studies we continued our last unit on Ohio pioneers. We became a pioneer family and planned our journey to Ohio. We are writing in a journal about our experiences with our family. This unit will end with our pioneer day.
Also don't forget our next state test is next Friday, which covers the Midwest Region. I added some links to help you prepare for these tests and learn the capitals if you want some extra credit. Thanks to Mrs. Hatton for letting us know about these resources! Thanks for your help in preparing your child for these tests also.
Please don't forget a packed lunch for Wednesday. We will be visiting Germantown Nature Center that day. Also dress for the weather we will be outside all day! Thanks!
Thanks! Mrs. Stratton
