We are currently working on our 2nd common core unit. We will be focusing on answering the following essential questions:
1. How does factual knowledge about a topic increase your appreciation of literature?
2. How does the author's use of story elements affect the plot?
3. How does weather affect the decisions we make?
We will be referring to these questions during reading, writing, science, and social studies. Please check this blog weekly for new posts, information about what we are working on, and ways to work with your child at home. Feel free to comment. I'd love to hear from you! Below I am posting two links that relate to the social studies content we have been learning about. Ask you child to identify the five regions of the United States.
