A Sneak Peek At Our Week ...

Reading:  We are continuing our "Perspectives" unit this week and students will be finishing The Sign of the Beaver, our shared classroom novel.  Lessons this week are focusing on what influences an individual's perspective (experience and culture), creating mental images that go beyond imagery, and forming opinions based on perspective.  On Friday students will complete a biopoem for the characters Matt and Attean from the text highlighting the perspectives, differences, and similarities between these two characters.  

Writing:  Students will finish drawing illustrations for their realistic stories this week and then will shared their published work with their peers.  

Math:  Lessons 11.3 and 11.4 will be instructed this week!

Social Studies:  Students will continue to research their city this week using different research resources online.  Then, they will begin comparing and contrasting their city and Chicago, noticing what features are different, and what features they have in common.
