Weekly Happenings

Hello! I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend!

Here is what's happening this week:

Writing: We will continue to work on the informational books about the topic of their choosing. This week we will focus on writing introductions and conclusions. We will also work on adding text feature to our pieces. Here are some charts that will help to apply these strategies. 

Reading: We are moving on from text structures to text features. We are not only looking at the different types but why authors choose certain text features over others. 

Social Studies: We will start chapter 6 this week. This chapter covers slavery and the Civil War. We will focus on how the people of Missouri were affected by these things.
