ELA/Reading
This week we will be working on a Bloom Ball project. Pictured below are examples of what the finished product should look like.
This project encompasses multiple areas we have learned throughout the quarter such as summarization, types of sentences, sensory details, visualization while reading, and plot. This assignment will most likely take the entire week to complete, as it has multiple parts and each part is quite detailed. Look for pictures in Class Dojo for completed assignments!
Social Studies:
This week we finish up our stations creating a map of the regions each Indian group is located within Ohio as well as labeling the most important facts about each group. Once we are finished with mapping out where each Native American group resided in Ohio, we will be turning our attention back to timelines. This skill will be extremely important as we move into our 3rd quarter material so I want to review how to read and construct timelines to help further understanding of sequential events in history. This will also help in the understanding of the cause and effect relationship in historical events. We will be reading the read-aloud play titled "Light", which is in our StoryWorks magazine. After reading, we will be working with our online text to study the events of Thomas Edison's life through a timeline.
Outdoor Recess Reminders
Remember with Ohio Weather being variable to remind your child to be prepared to be outside for recess. Students will be outside as long as the temperature with wind chill is 25 degrees or above.
Remember if your family needs support over the holidays or could use winter hats, gloves, or you have other needs to contact Ms. Stewart, our school counselor. She has contacts and can help.
