This year is already flying by, I can’t believe it’s already the week before Thanksgiving! Here is a look at what our units are…

Reading: We will close our unit on Theme today with a quiz. Main idea will be the focus of the new unit. We talked about how just because we are ending a unit, that doesn’t mean you should stop finding the theme while you read.

Writing: We are starting our Informational Writing Unit. Last week, the kids did an informational writing just using what they remembered about informational format. This week we will be learning the correct format and organization. Some of the kids did a fabulous job, so I will be helping them to add text features to their informational writing.

Social studies: We have been talking about African empires from hundreds of years ago, and we will continue this week. We will also be adding Europe and North America to the unit and talk about how there was a triangle of trade.

Science is kind of on the back burner for a few days. We finished our physical science unit, so we are a little ahead of where we need to be.
