What We're Learning:

Reading

This week we will take a look at how characters change throughout our reading. What experiences cause them to change? Do you like the change that they've experienced? Sometimes our characters change multiple times throughout our book. Hold some of these discussions with your learners through the books you're reading together or after they finish their independent reading.

Writing/Grammar

We will conclude our opinion writing unit by polling our classmates on various topics. We will then read our persuasive arguments and poll to see who we were able to persuade!

In grammar we will wrap up our learning with possessive nouns. This is an ongoing study as we work to determine whether or not a possessive is actually needed or not.
