It's our last spelling week! Today students completed Spelling Review pages 119-120 and made extra practice word searches to share with others. Our test will be on Friday.
We will be having a test over the four Southwest states and capitals on THURSDAY. Today we began learning about the landforms and resources in the Southwest, as we read pages 254- 259 in Social Studies. We also completed a study guide for the states and capitals test.
In reading we are discussing the elements of a Tall Tale, which is a fictional story that exaggerates the truth. Tall tales began as campfire stories told by American pioneers. We read a brief book about Paul Bunyan. Here's a 15 minute Walt Disney video about Paul Bunyan.
Tomorrow we will read The Bunyans on pages 726 - 743 in our Storytown book. This is about Paul Bunyan and his family. We get to learn what happens to Paul "later in life" and what his other family members are like.
