Hello again!
This has been a busy week in the Coti Sweets classroom!
In Social Studies, each student is researching one famous figure from the Colonial era. Next week they will present their findings to the class! They were given a packet with all of the guidelines, a rubric, helpful resources, and due dates, so if you have any questions take a look at that or contact me. From what I've seen and heard they have already found interesting information and are coming up with very creative projects!
In Writing Workshop we are continuing our poetry unit, this week focusing on sensory details--details about the five senses. On Tuesday, we visited our garden and wrote down observations based on our five senses (what we heard, what we saw, what we smelled, etc.). On Wednesday, we tried our hand at writing poetry with sensory details as well as other poetic devices such as similes, metaphors, and rhyming.
Despite the cold spell, this week we planted some seeds indoors to go into our garden!
Next week is the DC-CAS and in preparation we have been reviewing strategies for test taking and reviewing some math, reading, and writing skills. Please remind your child to do their best, remember their strategies, and don't stress! They can do it if they just focus! Also, please make sure that your child is at school on time (there are very strict procedures we have to follow in relation to the CAS), gets a good breakfast, and has had enough sleep the night before.
That's it for now--sorry for no pictures this week, I'll make sure that there are extra pictures next week!!
Ms. Goldy
