Next week, we will begin a science unit on Structures and Materials. We will learn about structures, materials used in structures, the differents parts of building and who is involved in making structures. As a final project, we will create our own structure. In Language Arts, we continue to work on the 6 +1 Writing Traits to develop more independant writing. We are presently focusing on Word Choice to make our stories more interesting to the reader. We continue to do the Daily 5 activities everyday.  We also review our French sounds, oral structures and cursive writing on a daily basis.   In math we have commenced our unit on Measurement. This week, students learned how to use a ruler to measure in centimeters.  We also talked about length, width and height measured in cm and m. Next week, we will look at telling time and we will learn to measure the perimeter of areas in cm.
