Happy Tuesday!  We are having a great week on The Ave.!

We have been exploring figurative language in texts.  Students have been finding examples of smilies, metaphors, hyperboles, personification, and more within provided texts and in their own reading.  We have been working to determine the meaning of these figures of speech and how they are used to make reading/writing interesting.

We have begun inquiring into refractions, completing a simple experiment this afternoon.

We have begun exploring the story of the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark Expedition.  Students are inquiring into the history and culture of the story, and the different perspectives to consider.

Please take five minutes to complete this parent survey about F.AVE.  Thanks!
