4PA Update
4PA students are eager to move on to literature during the upcoming week. We are wrapping up our learning of the eight parts of speech and celebrating our accomplishments by watching "Grammar House Rock". We will also enjoy a little snack. Before we dive into our literature unit, the students will be taking a pretest. They will be asked to read a short story entitled "Poor People" by Leo Tolstoy. Students will then be asked to answer open-ended questions about the theme, conflict and change that happens throughout the story. This week students will also be introduced to three very important skills: identifying the theme or underlying message within a text, understanding how point of view shapes the content and style of a text and the importance of citing specific textual evidence when sharing their opinions/ideas about a text. This is sure to be an exciting week for the students in 4PA! I can't wait to see what wonderful ideas your children will share.
