Language Arts
In Language Arts this week, we began to make the transition from our Fairy Tales, Myths and Legends unit to our Fantasy genre study. Students had time to make additional notebook entries to show mastery of our learning targets and we took an assessment, using Newsela.
To prepare for our Fantasy unit, students will need to get their first fantasy book and bring it next Tuesday, the 13th. This can be from the library, home, Overdrive, Kindle, a bookstore etc. We will be in this unit until Spring Break at the end of March.
The final draft of their family folklore is due on February 18th.
Social Studies
In Social Studies this week, students continued their research on the belief system of their choice. We spent some time talking about the reliability of sources we find online and how library databases can provide trustworthy information that can be verified.
The Scored Discussion will be on February 19th.
