Our Weekly Focus

Reading:

In this module, students will listen to, read, and view a variety of texts and media that provide information about building communities. A genre focus on narrative nonfiction provides students with opportunities to identify author’s purpose, text structure, and text and graphic features in order to better understand unfamiliar texts. Students will also encounter historical fiction to build knowledge across genres. As students build their vocabulary and synthesize topic knowledge, they will learn more about the way a dedicated individual or group of people can help make a community stronger and better.

Writing:

Students will be working on research paper about an invention.

Math:

Review of third grade standards
