In Reading, we are going to continue reading informational texts. We will begin looking at text features in those texts (such as graphs, captions, etc.) and find some cause and effect relationships. We will be using texts about Native Americans to help us through these topics.
In Social Studies, we are working on Native Americans! In the upcoming week, look for information about an at-home Native American diorama project. Also, students will be working on gathering information in class and creating a brochure about a specific Native American tribe after learning background information about all the Native American tribes specified in the 4th grade standards (Kwakiutl, Inuit, Hopi, Pawnee, Nez Perce, and Seminole). While gathering this background information, students will be documenting information on a Native American chart (this should be found in your child's Social Studies folder) and plotting tribe locations on a map. This is such a fun unit!
