LA and SS 1/22-1/25

READING
We will continue working with QAR (Question Answer Relationship) as we read and answer questions.  Students wrote some pretty tough questions last week to go with the article we read on Mei Lee's special gift.  
We will begin this week, applying this strategy and others on reading passages.  After we perfect using our reading skills in class, I will start to send home passages for homework.  

WRITING
The kids did a super job composing friendly letters to their third grade pen pals.  In the week to come, they will receive a letter from their pen pal.  We will then start working on composing a thank you letter response.  

SPELLING
Spelling homework will be shortened to 6 points this week.  

SOCIAL STUDIES
We will continue to learn about land forms.  This week we will start thinking of various ways to describe land forms or bodies of water.  The book I AM THE OCEAN will serve as our guide and inspiration as we begin to create LAND FORM POETRY!
