Community Unit
Literacy:
We are currently finishing our first unit in Language Workshop - What Impacts a Community?. We will begin Unit 2 - What Influences Relationships next week. We will focus on the essential understanding that relationships are shaped by beliefs, values, and experiences. 5th graders are working on the RACE strategy for developing their literature responses. The RACE strategy stands for Restating the question, Answer the question, Cite evidence to support their answer, and Explain your thinking. The expectations for middle school is that students have a well developed practice of responding to literature with a thorough and in-depth answer.
