Literacy
Once we finish with the iReady Reading diagnostic, we will begin 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
Currently, students are working on quick writes based on a given picture. Once we have computers, students will complete the district-required SRSD writing pre-assessment. This assessment will help determine the appropriate writing group placement for each student.
Once completed, students will begin 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.
