Questions to ask your child this week:
Reading: Students continued to meet in their literature circles to read and discuss their books focused on social movements and social change. They had some compelling discussions in class on Wednesday! When we return from Thanksgiving break, each group will work together to produce a one-pager demonstrating their understanding of their book. *I encourage students to read a book (or books) for fun over the Thanksgiving break! Audio books are also great choices for long trips. Writing: We began our personal narrative unit this week. We read and discussed three examples in class, and worked on two brainstorming activities. When we return from Thanksgiving break, students will choose one event from their lives and begin writing about it. This unit will take several weeks, and students will complete mini-lessons focusing on core elements like descriptive writing, organization, and grammar/mechanics as they write.
