Reading- This week in reading, we will continue to build our reading life. Students will practice the reading comprehension skill of retelling. Students should recognize that a retell consists of 5 parts: Characters, Setting, Problem, Sequence, and Solution. It is very important that students are familiar with an oral and written retell. We will discuss and practice reading for “Grit.” Grit is when readers have a willingness to do well and persevere, even when things are hard. We will end the week by discussing and trying different strategies to solve tricky or unfamiliar words.
Writing- We are continuing to work on our personal narratives. This week we will practice writing strong conclusions. Students will be introduced to the editing process. Math- We will begin the week by exploring extension facts. Extension facts allow us to identify and use common addition and subtraction facts to solve difficult problems (Ex: 7 + 2= 9 So, 70 + 20= 90 or 7 + 7 = 14 So, 7 + 37 = 44). We will also explore in and out tables. Social Studies- Students will begin a Wampanoag research project. The main questions students will explore are: What was Wampanoag life like before the Europeans? And How do environment, climate, and natural resources impact the Wampanoag way of life?
