Our reading lessons focus on:
Writing: We are continuing our study of narrative writing. Students will be working on stories with a beginning, middle, and end that include descriptive details for the setting, dialogue between characters, a clear sequence of events, and a problem and solution. Social Studies: The mystery word is perspective. This week we set the stage for our Storypath unit as we begin our learning about the Native Americans of the Northwest Coast. In this unit, our classroom becomes a Native American village. We will discuss the setting for our village and determine how the weather, geographic features and natural resources might impact how we live.
