Science- Identifying types of severe weather and learning about weather safety precautions is our objectice for this week. We will read, collaborate, report and share what we learn this week in science!

Writing- We will use what we've learned about writing good sentences and using adjectives in our writing to become editors this week as we participate in an activity called "building muscle! Each day we will read writing samples and determine which samples are wimpy ( not enough detail, poorly constructed), brawny ( too wordy, boring) and which samples have just the right amount of muscle:)
