Being a Writer
On Monday the students will write an Elf Application. This will support their learning of opinion writing. Later in the week, the students will finish their pet stories. They will listen to the book Sheila Rae the Brave and learn about how author's develop characters. Characters are developed through the use of adjectives and descriptive language so as to give the reader something to visualize in their mind.
Science
Earth's Resources Unit continues. This unit will be inquiry-based and full of observations and explorations. The students will be looking at different types of rocks and putting them into categories based on features. Be sure to ask your child each night about their new discoveries!
