Reading
This
week will be a little different due to our Social Studies
presentations, District Math Benchmark assessment, and our persuasive
essays. We will continue to have our reading groups and reflection
time, but most rest of our class time with be spent on our students
working on their persuasive essays.

Social Studies
Next week, the students will be very busy! Students will be putting on their finishing touches to their South America projects and preparing to present. Each student will present their two countries that they researched either with a Google Presentation or a poster. We look forward to hearing their presentations and all the interesting things they have learned!
Writing
Students will be working on their persuasive essays. Each student will be writing an essay either persuading their readers to visit one of the South American countries they researched or to buy the product they are creating ads for in their reading classes. We also look forward to reading these essays and seeing how the kids incorporated their knowledge from other assignments in a persuasive format.
