Personal Narrative Writing
The class is working on their final writing piece as a part of our narrative writing unit. Students participated in various mini lessons this week that focused on building a strong lead, the importance of word choice, including sensory detail, and incorporating interesting dialogue. We will be working on our final draft next week.
Extreme Weather Research
Students began their extreme weather research in the LMC! They are working in small groups to learn more about hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, and floods. This week, we focused on using note taking strategies to document our learning.
Reading this Week
This week, we spent time reviewing the various nonfiction text structures! We read a biography about John F. Kennedy and created a timeline that showed chronological text structure. Students looked for key words to compare and contrast an article about chimpanzees and humans.
