Learning Targets
Readers Workshop:
We will review nonfiction text features and elements of non-fiction text so that I can deepen my understanding of informational text. I'll know I have it when I can identify the purpose of text features in non-fiction text as well as determine main ideas and details of information.
Writers Workshop:
We will explore the features of a book review so that we will be able to share our opinions about a book in a way that engages our reader. I'll know I have it when I can create a professional book review to evaluate the non-fiction text I've chosen.
Social Studies:
We will discuss Earth's resources so that we can understand how people use resources to meet their needs. I'll know I have it when I can read and answer questions about the different types of resources in my community and in our country, and how these resources affect agriculture and industry.
Math Workshop:
We will analyze word problems involving fractions so that we can determine what the problem is asking us to do. I'll know I have it when I can correctly solve problems involving fractions.
