This week in Communication Arts we have been looking at the different figures of speech.  So far we have covered similes, metaphors, and idioms.  Next week we will cover alliteration and onomatopoeia.  We are still doing our Daily Language  Review (DLR) and spelling.
In Math the subjects have been fractions, multiplication tables, and making change.
Science is looking at fossils.  Social Studies is beginning the study of Mesopotamia.
We are utilizing technology with figurative language Brainpops on the Smartboard, online Spelling City with the netbooks, and math games on the Ipad.
We only have three more weeks until the winter break.
