Ending our Literature Unit: We wrapped up our unit on “Interpreting Characters” by focusing on theme. Each group came up with a theme and a life lesson for the story, Tiger Rising. Then, they presented their thinking to the class.

We’re starting a new unit on Nonfiction!!  In pairs, students read a page of nonfiction text with the goal of identifying the main idea and the supporting details.

Oregon Trail Journal Writing: Students have been learning how to write narrative journal entries, while integrating story elements and historical facts.

“You’ve Got Mail !!!!”  A few weeks ago, we all arrived safely at Fort Laramie. While there, our travelers were overjoyed that there were letters waiting for them. Our mailman “Drew Wilson” enthusiastically handed out the letters. ***Thanks to those of you who made this event possible.;)

Mapping Skills: Each student created and named his/her own island. Included on each island were landforms and cities. They also included a key/legend.
