Writing: 

We are reviewing both narrative and expository writing. We just finished writing a narrative about Valentine's Day.  The kids are adding so much creativity to their writing. In March, we will be talking about poetry and  creating our own poetry books! We are also continually practicing our cursive writing.

 

 

Social Studies and Science:

In Social Studies we have flown to Rome!  We are continuing to learn about how the Romans lived and about Gladitors.  Soon we will be writing our Roman Numerals. After that, we will fly to Greece!  The Greece unit will kick off with information about the Winter Olympics!  
In Science, we just finished learning about weather and will begin our study of rocks shortly.
