Hi Families! Let's take a look at the week ahead!
Reading/Science - We will begin a thematic unit on owls this week. It is always one of my favorite topics of study as well as one of my students' favorites. I will be reading a book based on a true story called Owls in the Family. The children will be answering both literal and inferential questions about the story. The children will be reading several nonfiction passages about owls on their own as well as an owl legend. We will also be working on the skills, fact and opinion, comparing/contrasting using a venn diagram, vocabulary, and reading for information.
Spelling - We will be learning the meanings and spellings of our owl story vocabulary. Look for the list called "Owls" on spellingcity.com.
English - We will finish up a story project we started last week using the book 'Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving. The children have been making a story map finding rhyming words, colorful adjectives, and vivid verbs from the story. They will also write a character description and a summary. Once they complete their story map, they will peer edit and complete their final project.
Math - Relating multiplication with division
Social Studies - 13 Colonies, William Bradford, How the Revolutionary War began, Boston Tea Party, George Washington, and Declaring Independence
As always, we will work on daily math and English review as our bell work.
