Writing and Reading:
Reading and writing are combined this week and are all about Thanksgiving! We are reading a great Thanksgiving book called Turk and Runt. Students will write a letter to one of the main characters to give suggestions on how they can escape being someone's Thanksgiving dinner. Students will take quotes from the book and infer what author's true meaning. Lastly, students will learn about adjectives and adverbs and practice using them in their writing.
Math:
We are wrapping up addition and subtraction facts with lots of practice on word problems! Students will decide if the problem requires addition, subtraction, or both by looking for key words. At the end of the week, students will take an assessment to check everything they've learned.
Social Studies:
This week we are looking at our society has changed from long ago to today. We will look at how communication, transportation, entertainment, and clothing has changed over the years. We will also look at different holidays celebrated in America, such as Veteran's Day, Memorial Day, and Thanksgiving.
Question of the week: What president decided Thanksgiving should be on the final Thursday of November. What was the name of the girl who campaigned for Thanksgiving to be a holiday?
