We made it through our first week back from vacation but most importantly..can we make it through 5 days this week!!! Our Reading Street story this week is called "Pushing Up the Sky." It is a play from an Indian myth.I enjoy the story and I hope the students do ,too. The Comprehension Skill is Literary Elements: Character, Setting, and Plot so for our weekly writing, I will give the students another Indian legend to read and complete a writing assignment on the Literary Elements of their myth. I have myths on why the owl has big eyes, how the crow came to be black and why the possum's tail is bare, just to name a few. I love this stuff!! Polygons will still be the focus in Math and we continue to learn about government in Social Studies.
Until next week!
