ELA: This week we will continue reading Peter Pan. We will be introduced to the concept of characters and their motivations... why they do certain things, For instance, Peter returned to the Darlings' house because he wanted his shadow back. His motivation for returning was the fact that he missed his shadow and wanted it back.
We will use the questions:
What reason did the character have for doing, or saying something?
What was his/her motivation?
What goal did the character have? What did he/she do to meet the goal?
These questions can often be applied to characters in almost any book.
We will continue to build our character trait knowledge by noticing how the characters act and what they say. We are discovering there is a difference between feelings and character traits.
MATH: In math we will begin to develop an understanding of
fractions as numbers. The students will partition
or break apart a whole into equal parts, identifying and counting unit
fractions using models or fraction strips. They will describe the shares using the words
halves, thirds, fourths, sixths, and eighths, and recognize that equal shares
of identical wholes may not have the same shape.
