Reading
Math
Students compare the structure
of poems, plays, and prose and
describe the similarities and
differences. Students read
poetry and discuss the author’s
use of similes and metaphors to
add description to writing.
Using a realistic novel,
students determine theme and
compare and contrast events.
Students use the theme to
summarize portions
Writing of text and
discuss point of view.
Students will describe and identify points, lines,
and line segments, including parallel and
perpendicular lines. Students will identify these
geometric features as well as lines of symmetry in
2-dimensional figures. Students continue to
develop their understanding of geometry and
geometric measurement. Students are introduced
to angles as geometric shapes and recognize an
angle that turns through of a circle as a onedegree angle. Students also learn that an angle
can be composed of more than one angle.
Students classify 2-dimensional shapes by
properties of their lines and angles
Students will reflect on a personal experience to
compose a memoir. After examining
characteristics of memoir, students recall an
event from their life and reflect on that
experience.
Students will then explore structure and
language of poems while reading and analyze
the components of poetry and literary mood
while creating their own poetry.
Science
Students begin the understanding that Earth materials can
be studied to provide evidence of Earth’s changing surface
over time by identifying, describing, and comparing
observable properties of matter. Students apply these
properties specifically to rocks. This blends of Physical and
Earth Space Sciences leads students to the understanding
that rocks are made of a combination of materials. Students
will investigate the processes that form rocks and will use
the process to classify rocks.
Social Studies
Students will gather, record, and analyze
information about the three regions of colonial
America, the New England, Middle, and
Southern regions. They will determine how
colonists adapted to and modified the
environment to meet their wants. Students
explore the concept of regional specialization
and its role in economic growth of the
colonies.
