Social Studies/Morning Work: Students will finish creating their Wordle covers for their Chicago ABC books on Wednesday, and then spend Thursday and Friday morning creating math extended responses.
Reading: In reading this week, students will analyze the characters and the conflicts in fables, folktales, and myths. They will use the characters' traits to name them as a protagonist or an antagonist in the story. And finally, they will recognize characteristics common to myths and legends in order to distinguish them from other genres. Next week we will begin comparing and contrasting characters, themes, and conflicts within and across texts.
Writing: Students will continue working on extended reading responses this week. Lessons will focus on using transition words in their topic sentences, varying the structure of their topic sentences, and elaborating our thinking about the text.
Math: Lessons 5.9: Powers of 10 and 5.10: Rounding & Reporting Numbers will be instructed on Wednesday and Thursday, and on Friday students will complete a differentiated/tiered problem solving activity related to real-world multiplication application.
Science: Students will continue to uncover the key question, "How are sedimentary rocks formed?" Key vocabulary will include sedimentary rock, erosion, and pressure. Then, on Friday, students will begin to explore how metamorphic rocks are formed.
