📚 Reading & Language Arts
Students will explore figurative language. In vocabulary, we are studying the prefix non- to see how it changes the meaning of words.

✏️ Writing (with Social Studies Integration)
In Writer’s Workshop, students are strengthening their grammar skills by using different types of punctuation. This will set a strong foundation for writing throughout the year. We will also be strengthening our paragraph writing skills. Spelling words for week 09/02-09/05 are Module 1 Week 1.

➕ Math
We are practicing rounding numbers, estimating, and addition & subtraction strategies. These skills will help students solve problems more efficiently and build confidence with numbers.

🔬 Science
Students are exploring matter—its properties and where we see it all around us. We will be observing, asking questions, and developing habits of careful and curious scientific thinking.
