To commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. our poem of the week is "Dreams" by Langston Hughes. In this poem, Langston Hughes uses two metaphors to convey what it is like to lose one's dreams. Metaphors are figures of speech that compare two objects that are basically dissimilar. The metaphors in our poem are, "Life is a broken-winged bird" and "Life is a barren field." We had an interesting conversation about what we thought these metaphors meant and what it means to dream. We will be thinking about what dreams we have for ourselves and the world throughout the week.
We have three word families again this week! We are working hard to learn the short "u" sound and the red word, want . We will also continue to practice question marks and uppercasing names in the middle of a sentence.
Our Unit 5 math assessment will be on Wednesday.
