Language Arts - We are still enjoying reading 'The Book Of Time' as a class shared novel. We have been discussing a variety of components of the book before, during, and after each chapter. We have also been learning about the features of a historical fiction novel. We continue to work on our morphology on a daily basis. Every month we add to our poetry collection. This month's focus is using imagery with a winter theme. We continue to work with the Lexia and Power Up programs to become more fluent readers. We will be starting to learn about procedural writing near the end of the month.
