CURRICULUM
Reading: This week we are acknowledging that our Social Issues books often have multiple issues present, and that it is important to challenge texts by reflecting on our own beliefs and asking questions like, "Am I okay with how this group is represented?" and "Does this fit with what I have seen in the world?"
Writing: This week students are developing drafts of an adaptation on the original Cinderella. As they do this they are looking to make a character, setting, or motivation change, and reveal the domino effect that change has in our stories. We will also have a chance to try this out with other fairy tales we know by heart.
Math: This week we are continuing to explore shapes, specifically parallel and perpendicular lines. We will examine the relationship between these types of lines and angles.
Social Studies: We will continue to read and study Folk Tales around the world to help us further enhance our Fairy Tale adaptations in writing.
