WHAT WE ARE LEARNING
WHAT WE ARE LEARNING
LA - MRS SCHMITT
This week students will continue their focus on the essential questions:
How does the text structure help me understand the text?
How can I learn and use academic vocabulary appropriately?
Students will be focusing on the following skills:
Determine and describe the overall text structure
Know the 5 text structures (cause and effect, chronological order/sequence, compare & contrast, description, and problem & solution)
Context clues (affixes, roots, synonyms, antonyms, multiple meaning words)
We will be reading informational texts as a class to practice strategies in determining the structure of a text. Students will also be reading leveled texts and informational passages with the use of graphic organizers to organize and synthesize their thinking using text evidence.
Students will also be learning context clues to identify the meaning of unknown words. Students will also continue to work with prepositional phrases. Students are practicing these skills on IXL, Khan Academy, and Freckle Apps.

SOCIAL STUDIES: MRS. CRUSH
In Math Workshop, we started a new project, "Using a Scale to Create a Map," focusing on the West and Southwest Regions. There are a few students who have states from the Midwest Region. Each student was assigned a different states and they will be creating a map with a title, cities, geographical features, compass rose, scale, and bodies of water. Using their scale, they will create multiple step math problems. In Social Studies, we will focus on the Southwest Region and students will be doing a mini Landmark Project.
We will continue our Research Project on Kentucky Counties. Each student will be assigned a cluster of counties. They will focus on places, government, people, and events in their cluster. Students will be working on this research project in both Social Studies and Technology for the next several weekends. Mrs. Crush has divided the students into small groups to do check-ins and answer any questions. She will see 1-3 groups each class period.
RELIGION: MRS CRUSH
We will begin Ch. 8, "Witnesses to God's Kingdom. The students will be able to discuss experiences of unfairness, explore how worldly justice and God's justice differ, realize that we are called to live holy lives, and to identify ways we experience the Kingdom of God at Mass.
