Reading
Students are working on identifying main idea and supporting details as they read nonfiction texts. They have learned sometimes the main idea is explicit and they can find it in the body of a paragraph. It may be the first or last sentence of a paragraph. Other times it may be inferred. They have to make an inference based on the details contained in the entire paragraph and develop a main idea statement.
Writing
Students are creating a pamphlet based on what they learned about the Wampanoag Native Americans. Their pamphlet will contain written information they learned about the food, clothing, way of life, and homes of the Wampanoags.
Mathematics
Students have started a new unit in math. They will be learning about U.S. standard and metric units of measurement for length. In addition students will delve into finding perimeter and area of objects.
Social Studies
Students will start the second part of the Native American unit in which they will learn about a different region in the United States. Students will explore the Plains Region. While studying this region they will learn about the Plains Native American's homes, food, and way of living.
