May- These next few weeks we will be working on poetry. I think this will be fun unit and I believe most of the class will enjoy it. Perhaps you could share a favorite poem of yours with your student or write a serious or silly one together. Poems are also great Mothers Day ideas as well!
This week, we will be reviewing the steps to picking an independent reading book that is just right! This is a strategy that students can use when choosing a book to read at school, home, at the public library etc.
We are currently working on Colonial Times! We are using this time period to evaluate primary and secondary sources and extend our writing. To assist students at home have them make a claim about what they are reading and support it with at least two details from the text. Students will continue to make inferences about what they are reading and seeing in text, pictures, timelines, and authentic documents.
