Here are some of the topics and fun activities we have planned for this month:

• English Language Arts– This month we work on our module on making a successful invention. We will read passages on inventors and inventions and discuss how preserverence is important as well as making mistakes. We will also be looking at decoding different prefixes and suffixes, spelling words with -ed and -ing, and making inferences as we read. We will then get into stories on how food gets to our tables. We will then focus on central idea and synthesizing, devoding words that end with -ful, -y, -ly, -er, and -or. Our writing essay will be an informational text on an invention we have used before.
• Math– For math, we will begin fractions; discussing equal parts and the whole, working with numbers less than and greater than 1 on a number line, and beginning to work on equivalent fractions.
• Science– This month we will be looking at plant and animal extinction and fossils. We will be discussing vocabulary and new concepts and quizzing on these topics on Blooket. We will discuss invasive species and play a role playing game of tag to see how the invasive Kudzu plant can invade and take over other plants. We will do another role playing game on resource management to visualize how having a lack of resources affect other organisms.
• Social Studies– We will be completing our unit on geography by looking at and categorizing regions of the world. We will do the physical and human characteristics of each continent. We will also be researching projects for Women’s History Month. We will read about notable women of history and present a Keynote presentation on them. We will also create a podcast.
