In language arts the students continue to learn about how authors use figurative language to engage, entertain, and make their writing more descriptive. The students are writing and illustrating their own examples of simile, metaphor, alliteration, personification, idioms, and hyperbole. In reading, we finally discovered that Mibb's savvy is not waking people up but in fact being able to read people's thoughts and ideas through ink! Savvy is turning into a favorite story for many of the students.
All of the fifth graders will take an assessment Thursday on decimal place value, comparing, and rounding. We will continue to work on solving real world problems using addition and subtraction with decimals.
In science, the students are investigating weather and climate. This week we are focusing on weather instruments, cold and warm fronts, and weather patterns.
