Hello Families!

Reading- Nonfiction

• We continued to work on reading nonfiction texts this week!
• Students found nonfiction books to read.
• We learned the different text structures of a nonfiction text (compare and contrast, chronological, ect.).
• Readers discovered that the title of a nonfiction book could be misleading.
• We learned that there can be multiple main ideas in a nonfiction text.

Writing- Informative

• Writers continued to be journalists this week.
• Students read different articles from the newspaper to decide what kind of lead the journalists use when writing.
• Journalists interviewed a classmate about an event that happened to them this weekend and wrote an article about it!

cARTography

• Artists created their own maps by finding the points of longitude and latitude of specific cities on the coast.
• Students will continue to use these maps in their unit on explorers!

Right Brain Initiative- DRAMA

Please ask your child about:

• The Name Game (with the ball)
• Tableau or family portrait game

Veterans day- A friendly reminder:
