What a busy week ahead we have!
Reading: This week we will continue to focus on biographies as well as just what makes someone a hero by reading excerpts from The Hero's Trail: A Guide for a Heroic Life. Has your child told you about the biographies we read last week? Ask him/her about Snowflake Bentley and Molly Brown. This week, we're read one about Alice Roosevelt as well. Go ahead and have some discussions at home about heroes, both family/local ones and ones more well-known.
Read Aloud: The students are loving Echo! This historical fiction has also been a great starting point for discussing some of the events from World War II.
Language: The students are finishing their essays on how the explorers impacted the Native Americans. We will also be working on correctly writing quotations and conversations so we may begin writing more narrative stories.
Math: We are moving on to fractions! This week we will focus on some basic equivalent fractions as we work on illustrating 1/2s, 1/3s, 1/4s, 1/6s and 1/8s on different sized rectangles.
Science: The moon, its phases, eclipses and tides will be our focus this week as we continue our discussion of our one and only moon.
Alabama History: Later in the week, we will turn our attention to a sad part in our nation's history: The Trail of Tears.
