Here is a look at our week ahead!
*Math: Students will continue to work on their individual concept areas: money, place value, or division.
*Reading: We are beginning our Persuasive Unit this week! Monday, we will spend time defining what it means to persuade someone and take a look at both commercial and magazine advertisements for a variety of products/places. We will view a short video titled, "Media Wise" on Tuesday and the finish the week analyzing a few stories, such as the True Story of the Three Little Pigs, to determine the types of persuasion being used to appeal to its readers/viewers.
*RtI Reading: Tying in with our Persuasive Unit, the practice skill for RtI Reading will be Fact and Opinion. We will begin the week taking a closer look at some advertisements and identifying facts and opinions within them. We will finish the week having a debate on our "Favorite French Fries". Students will need to research two facts about their favorite fries and then form one to two personal opinion. We will share/debate this in class.
*Language Arts: Nouns, verbs, and adjectives will be reviewed this week. We will spend one day reviewing each of these parts of speech and then play a review game at the end of the week.
*Social Studies (7/8 grade only): This week, we will continue to discuss the environment and lifestyles of those colonists living in the 13 colonies. We will talk about how the Revolutionary War affected the lives of the colonists and the first steps taken to write the Declaration of Independence and, eventually, the Constitution.
Have a wonderful week!!
