Last week we wrapped up our Wildlife Biologist unit on Bats! Be sure to ask your child whether or not they would be in favor of building bat houses in local parks and why. You can also ask them what they learned about formatting a magazine article. Students can show you finished copies of their work by logging in to Google Classroom.
This week we read a few different informational texts in order to identify main ideas, key topics, and supporting details. Students practiced turning their notes into an outline or idea web. Ask your child how cold it gets in Tanana, Alaska and at what point the schools decide to cancel outdoor recess.
In the next few weeks we will read the text A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park. This will connect to the 5th grade Ready Gen module that analyzes how individuals respond to their environment.
