It's been a very busy few weeks in our classroom. The students have just finished up their literature circle novels and have completed their final projects. During the next two weeks, we will focus on grammar and the 8 parts of speech. Each day will be dedicated to one of the parts of speech. We will watch an old fashioned "School House Rock" video to kick off the day and then review the grammar rules for that topic. Students will create a "Parts of Speech" rule book for each topice that they will use as a study guide for their final test.
In social studies, we are finishing our unit on Ancient Greece. This week, we will look at the Trojan War and how it impacted history. Some of the kids have been talking about Greek myths and doing a little research on gods and goddesses. It's a lot of fun discovering the stories with them. Later in the week, they will write their own original myths to explain a random act of nature.
