Reading/Writing
In Mrs. Carlson’s, Mrs. Davis' and Mrs. Burmeister's classes, 5th Grade will be finishing up Unit 7: Imagination in reading. This unit focused on Fantasy. Students are learning about various literature structures such as character archetypes, stereotypes, magical settings, symbolism, and theme. Students will also focus on how does reading fantasy fiction deepen their thinking. We have used Chris Van Allsburg books to develop a deeper understanding of the structure of fantasy genre and as a model for our Fantasy writing project. Ask your kiddos to share their story.
