Here is what's happening this week:
Writing: We will spend the first three days this week working on poetry. Today, the students worked on writing action poems. They included a variety of verbs to show action in their poems. Tomorrow, we will work on writing imagery poems. They'll use their senses and figurative language to bring their poems to life. We will also learn about rhyme schemes.
On Thursday and Friday, we will work on writing to a prompt. This week we will focus on writing informational pieces.

Social Studies: We'll spend this week learning about the Articles of Confederation and how our founding fathers created our government. We'll look into the Constitution and how the branches of government work.
