Next Week's Set List
Week at a Glance/Skills for the Week:
LITERACY – Students will continue to examine different text structures and analyze how the author's choice of organization affects the story. Specifically, we will focus on compare/contrast.
WRITING – We begin a new unit on persuasive writing this week. We examine word choice and purpose to guide us in our writing. Also, students will need to finish writing their fictional narratives on their own. These stories will be published for Art and Author Night on MARCH 24th.
MATH – We will begin Unit 10. This unit is an introduction to algebra (and one of my personal favorite units!)
SPELLING – Unit 21 is on Thursday for those students who are continuing their spelling tests.
SCIENCE – No Science this week.
SOCIAL STUDIES – We continue Unit 3 in Social Studies, which explores the concepts of developing territories, Statehood, and how to live in harmony with others. How can we have freedom within a government structure? How does structure of government represent citizens of Indiana? How did key documents lay the framework for Indiana's constitution?
TIPS – We are rewriting the rubric for Socratic seminar assessments, using more kid-friendly language. This is a great way for students to really understand the purpose of discussing texts.
