CURRICULUM
Reading: This week we are starting bend two of our "Reading in a Content Area" unit. This time around students will research a second country with their groups using everything they know to create meaningful jots and teach others about new ideas.
Writing: This week we are launching our next writing unit- Informational Writing in a Content Area, specifically focusing on a country from around the world. Students will collect research about a country of their choice and paraphrase notes into their own words. They will then start to develop a table of contents and plan a book focusing on many unique aspects of their chosen countries.
Math: This week we are launching our next math unit- The Data Collection Process and Graphing. In this unit students will develop questions, conduct surveys, display collected data, summarize it, and draw conclusions. We will conduct three cycles of this around bar graphs, picture graphs, and line plots.
Social Studies: As we learn more about specific countries researched, we will read folk tales from these countries to learn about the culture.
