WRITING: We continued poetry by writing a Bio and Cinquain poem! Ask your child: What is the favorite type of poem you've written so far?

SOCIAL STUDIES UPDATE: Our Studies Weekly magazine focused on “Economic Choices” and the effects of these choices. The students learned about supply, demand, scarcity and opportunity cost. The Scholastic News was “How to Save a Baby Dolphin.” The students learned about a baby dolphin that was found on a beach and how rescuers saved his life. THey also practiced reading a diagram and answering questions about it. Our AmazeWorks book was Fred Stays with Me. This story looks at growing up in a split family.
