Language Arts: We are circling back around to our genre study with a focus on fairy tales, folk tales, myths, legends, and fables. This category or genre is called traditional literature. Students will be analyzing the different types of books in this genre and comparing attributes. In addition, we will review the last prompt students wrote. This was the first time students went through the entire process without any assistance. Most students are really understanding the necessary steps to writing a solid expository. There are a few who haven't turned theirs in. It will show as "msg" in the grade book until it's turned in. This week in writing, students will work specifically on revising for transitions and adverbs.
Social Studies: We are learning about the Old 300 this week, the first settlers in Texas. In addition, we will see what expectations the different empresarios had to allow settlers to come to their land.
