Math: We will look at combining and separating shapes this week to make new shapes. We will have a test on topic 11 on Friday!
ELA:
This week, we will read a Chris Van Allsburg story,
The Garden of Abdul Gasazi.
Our lessons will focus on the following:
1. Student led discussions of text dependent questions. Students will work in small groups to answer questions that require locating and quoting evidence from the text. An example of this type of question would be:
Reread page 398. What evidence from the text can you cite to defend the idea that Alan takes pet-sitting Fritz seriously?
2. Revisiting elements of plot... character development, setting, problem, and the solution as a series of events.
3. Reading informational text and identifying the text structure (how the author organized the text) by using text clues and signals. We will read several pieces of text tied to a common topic and see how an author can organize the text in a specific way.
Science:
We will talk about what happens in the sky during day time and night time. A common misconception is that students think stars "come out" at night, we will conduct an investigation that will show them what happens during the daylight.
