Literacy
On Monday, we will begin literacy groups! Those staying with me for literacy will start a book study of Call It Courage by Armstrong Sperry. Students will focus on creating GIST statements—concise sentences that capture the main idea—for each chapter. They will also use Literature Analysis graphic organizers with their table groups to deepen their understanding and analysis of the text.
Writing
Writing groups will start on Monday! Students will start a narrative writing unit using treasure maps, with a focus on incorporating dialogue.
Science/Social Studies
To continue our Geography unit, students have begun learning about the seven continents and five oceans. Reading and writing skills are also incorporated into our Science and Social Studies lessons.
