April is National Poetry Month! We will explore various types of poetry in both reading and writing. Students will create their own collection of poems throughout the month. In addition, we will continue with our book clubs to study character traits, change, and make inferences about our text. The children will write reading responses to demonstrate their understanding of their stories and incorporate evidence from the text to support their claims.
In math, we are reviewing subtraction with borrowing, introducing Order of Operations, and continuing to review multiplication facts to build fact fluency. As always, we are working on solving number stories during every lesson.
