This week in reading we will be learning about fables. We will read several short fables and discuss the qualities of a fable. In writing this week we will continue to work on our personal narratives. We have started our drafts and are working on including “show don’t tell” vocabulary and red flag transition words.
In math last week we worked on solving division word problems by drawing a tape diagram. This week we will continue to work on tape diagrams with multiplication word problems.
In social studies we will work on land forms and bodies of water in Michigan. We will use our desk maps to locate various land forms and of course our 5 great lakes. To demonstrate our learning, students will create google slides to showcase the unique land forms and bodies of water in Michigan.
I am looking forward to a great week 🙂
