CORE KNOWLEDGE
Colonial Towns and Townspeople - This unit continues the students' journey as they learn more about the early history of our country. The setting for this unit is more than 150 years later, after the colonies had been firmly established. This unit will acquaint students with what daily life was like for the people who lived during these times, and how very different it was from students' own present-day experiences.
WRITING
We are working on thinking like writers and getting our ideas on paper using pictures and words. We are also labeling, stretching out words, and using our vowels. This week we are working on turning our writing and ideas into books and scrolls. We are working on thinking about what we are going to write and planning it out across all of the pages in our story. Including details and labeling in our pictures is an important way to tell more about our story. We are also working on neatness, finger spacing, punctuation, and making sense.
