Next week we will be working on the following topics:
ELA: We will be doing creative writing activities, word sorts, sequencing activities, comparing and contrasting our past to present, readers theaters, stories, songs, and crafts all focused on Thanksgiving this week. We will also watch a short Brain Pop Jr. clip on Thanksgiving and Disney's Pocahontas. After the movie we will be comparing it to the book and will talk about the historical facts we have learned about Native Americans vs. the "embellishments" that Disney has added.
Math: We will complete some different holiday math activities this week such as Thanksgiving problem solving and turkey probability!
Social Studies: We will be finishing up our Native American Unit, focusing on River Indians. We have received quite a few Flat Stanley letters in the mail - but I haven't told students yet! I'm looking forward to surprising them after Thanksgiving when we start our geography unit!!
