This week in reading we have been practicing the strategy compare and contrast. Thus far, we have used short informational texts to compare planets, German and Irish immigrants, and the city-states of Athens and Sparta. In small reading groups we also used a Time for Kids this week to compare an article about vultures to a shorter article about bats. We also were introduced to the myth genre today and learned and listed features of myths. We then read "Thor's Magic Hammer" and identified the myth features in that text.
We finished our historical fiction read aloud book, Blood on the River by Elisa Carbone. It was about the Jamestown settlement and the kids loved it! Yesterday, we started an autobiography read aloud, Boy: Tales of Childhood, by Roald Dahl.
Just a reminder that reading goals are due March 22nd--it will be here before we know it!
