Short Week, Short Post

Good morning everyone! 

I hope you enjoyed your 5-day holiday!  I know my family did!  It is hard to believe that we are already into December!

Language Arts

In Language Arts this week, students looked at the difference between archetypes and stereotypes.  We also looked at how authors, in text and media, like to play with archetypes to add a new dimension or fight stereotypes within their texts.  We looked for these in the fairy tales we read.  Next week, we will be watching a documentary about Wonder Woman and female superheroes to continue our archetype/stereotype conversation.

Students should complete their family interview by December 12th.  We will then begin the research process to supplement our story telling.

Social Studies

Students were asked to complete their research about their Egyptian topic.  We will log into GoAnimate accounts next week to bring this research, and the link to our Social Studies standard, to life!
