Social Studies
We are beginning to learn more about the elements of cultures (tradition, economy, institutions, food, housing, language, government, and technology) and how they are interrelated and influence our daily living.
Language Arts
Students are learning about the four kinds of sentences and practicing identifying and using them in writing. The four kinds of sentences are:
declarative: the most common kind of sentence; makes a statement about a person, place, thing, or idea. Ending punctuation is a period.
interrogative: this kind of sentence is used to get a reader's attention; it asks a question. Ending punctuation is a question mark.
imperative: this sentence often appears in dialogue or directions; it gives a command. Ending punctuation is usually a period.
exclamatory: this sentence should only be used occassionally to retain its emphasis; it shows strong emotion or feeling. Ending punctuation is an exclamation point.
Students will be writing a short piece using a variety of sentence types, incorporating power verbs and sensory details.
Miscellaneous
