Reading
In
reading this week we began our Point of View (POV) unit. First we watched the
Flocabulary, which is one of my favorites J,
filled in our graphic organizers and glued in our interactive notebooks. We discussed
the advantages and disadvantages of both 1st and 3rd
person POV. I was also able to relate it back to our class read aloud, Scar.
Later, we read stories on the same topic but in different POVs together as a
whole group and discussed how we decided the POV and how it impacts the story.
Then students were given another set of stories and got with a partner to read
and fill out graphic organizers. Next week we will continue with POV.
We
will continue to review text structure and main idea through.
Writing
We
are finally finishing up our personal narratives and have started publishing…yahoo! We will begin our next
narrative about a Thanksgiving Turkey that will also integrate POV. J
Grammar
Next
week we will revisit similes and metaphors. We will discuss the difference
between the two and practice identifying these types of figurative language in
our reading, as well as, practicing how to include it in our writing.
We
will continue to review sentence structure and parts of speech.
Social Studies
In
Social Studies this week we finished up the battles of the American Revolution!
YAHOO!!! We will be moving onto the important documents such as: The
Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, Constitution, and Bill
of Rights.
