Character Connections Word of the week: PATIENCE
Patience is the
quality of waiting calmly without complaining. An example of patience is someone standing peacefully in a
very long line. Can you think of times when patience helped in a situation? How
does it feel when you are patient with others?

In writer’s workshop, we
are gearing up for persuasive and opinion writing. To prepare, we are reading
opinion articles in class to understand how an author works to convince others
of what he/she wants them to think, feel, believe, or do. In reader's workshop, we are learning to take
charge of our own comprehension. Finally, in our independent reading
time, we are using all of our reading skills to help us improve our reading
stamina. We are working hard!
Social
Studies:
We are busy in our unit on
Government. Right now we are talking
about what a government does and why we need one. From there we will move into our Three
Branches of Government. The kids are
already reminding us of things we learned in Lansing!
Science:
Our science unit is on
Energy. We are learning about potential
and kinetic energy and what makes energy change. We are also going to study the various forms
of energy.
***Often we post things on our class SeeSaw accounts as well on
our Google Classroom accounts. Ask your child to show you what he/she has
done so far!
