Language Arts
Our Journey's selection this week is called Interrupted Journey, Saving Endangered Sea Turtles. We are focusing on cause and effect, verbs, and questioning to aid comprehension and build vocabulary. On Friday of next week (11/20) we will take our vocabulary, comprehension, and grammar tests for lesson 6.
Writing
After the Iowa Assessments have wrapped up, we will continue with paragraph writing. We are focusing on analyzing a prompt and brainstorming before jumping into our writing.
