Hello! This week the students are continuing to study the Civil War in Social Studies. We have been getting familiar with our vocabulary through various vocabulary strategies. One of the strategies is vocabulary squares:

In Language Arts we are reviewing summarization and context clues (two of our Big Five Reading Strategies). Additionally in Language Arts, we are finishing our literature circle books (about Asian Folk Tales and culture).

We have also started reading Bridge to Terabithia, by Katherine Paterson, as a whole class shared reading.
