Hello!
We finished off our rough copies in poetry this week, looking at onomatapoeia sounds and line break poetry. Our classroom was buzzing with sounds, screaches, and kabooms! We also started typing up our poems in preparation for making a personal poetry booklet.
In math this week we looked at qualities of quadrilaterals, and how to differentiate and classify them. We spent a lot of time sorting and naming shapes.
There is a quadrilateral quiz on Monday, so study up on your trapezoids, parallelograms, rhombuses, rectangles, squares, and trapeziums!
In science this week we looked at our two final human body systems: the nervous system and the excratory system. The nervous system controls everything we do, with electrical signals running from our brain, through our spinal cord, to our nerve cells, and back again. The excratory system takes waste from our blood called urea, and mixes it with water to make urine. The students were less enthusiatic about this lesson…
We are also finished most of our family heritage projects for social studies! We spent the week typing up our information, and today we decorated our tri-folds.
I sent an email out to most parents about finishing off their personal projects, and bringing them in to class Monday to attach to our displays.
Next week we will be having a science test on the human body! The areas that we will be looking at are the digestive system, respiratory system, circulatory system, nervous system, excratory system, skeletal system, and muscular system. There is a lot of information, so on Monday we will be playing Jeopardy, and highlighting the information that will be on the test.
We will also be building 3D prisms in math, finishing off our poetry booklets in language arts, and starting some 3D perspective landscapes in art.
Our Heritage Fair is on Wednesday, March 14th, between 1pm and 2:30 pm. A notice went out inviting parents to come by and learn about the diversity that Ruth King students have.
Report cards went home today! Read them over, and send those signed report card enveloped back to school as soon as possible.
One more week until spring break, have a good weekend, and see you on Monday.
