WHAT WE ARE LEARNING
WHAT WE ARE LEARNING
LA MRS. SCHMITT
This week students will continue to focus on the essential question: "How do characters and their interactions teach us lessons?" Students will continue to practice retelling strategies to demonstrate their understanding of a text, while beginning to focus on characterization. Students will also be introduced to and practice strategies that support their thinking of characters, character reactions, character interactions and the overall impact characters have on the plot, theme, and central message of a text.
These strategies will be modeled with the whole class, then students will work independently to complete the strategies using various 4th grade level texts. We will be reading Wonder as our main read aloud/mentor text, as well as a few fiction picture books.
Students are learning the various types of nouns: concrete, abstract, regular and irregular plural, singular and possessive nouns.
We are analyzing well crafted mentor sentences as a class. Students are also practicing these skills on IXL and Freckle Apps.

They will identify and map major physical features, including mountains, rivers, lakes, and large bodies of water. They will also examine climate and vegetation maps to explore the relationship between physical features and vegetation/climate. We will continue our studies about the Northeast Region.
