READING:We are going to work on a THEMED unit for Thanksgiving for the next week and a half. We are reading about the Mayflower, Pilgrims, and Native Americans and their impact on history. We will be comparing and contrasting these groups, writing as if we were on the Mayflower, creating maps of the New World, and even learning how to help a turkey escape from Thanksgiving dinner!
WRITING:
We will are working on creative stories in writing and adding details to all of our writing. We continue to work on writing creative stories. We are starting to be creative in our SQUIGGLE stories each week. This is where the students receive a squiggle mark, then have to draw something using the squiggle and then write about it! We are creating some awesome writing in our journals and we are exciting to do so many writing projects! We continue to work on writing Weekend Reports every Monday. We are focusing on writing a complete sentence with a capital letter, a complete thought, and an endmark. We are also learning to use graphic organizers to help with our pre-writes. With every sentence we write, we try to think of one good detail sentence to add to our stories.
