Remember-READING RESPONSE LETTERS DUE EVERY FRIDAY. Turn any missing letters in ASAP.
Read about our week:
Reading-We read more biographies, more about Martin Luther King, Jr., and civil rights. We read a book written by Dr. King's sister telling about Martin as a child and how he vowed to make a difference in the world. We also read Ruth and the Green Book that told about a book created to help African American travelers find places to eat, sleep, and shop during the years of segregation. We used post-its to keep tracks of our thinking as we read and answers questions about character traits and theme. This week we will read traditional literature-fairy tales, trickster tales, and folk tales.
Spelling-Last week, we worked on words ending in tion. This week we will work on words ending in -ian. When you add that suffix to many words, it changes the word from a noun to someone who works with that noun. For example-magic changes to magician, music to musician, and comedy to comedian. We will also have individual words.
Vocabulary-Last week, we learned character trait words and this week we will learn words that deal with traditional literature. Go to quizlet.com to practice and look for the words in the homework packet.
Social Studies-We are completing a quick project about the TX Explorers and will begin learning about missions soon.
