Our Friendship & MLK unit is a time for us to discuss good manners and characteristics of friendship. We also spend time discussing the life of Martin Luther King Jr. and how he fought for equal rights so that we could all live peacefully as friends no matter the color of our skins.
This unit has a focus on fractions for Degen as we discuss how we share and make things equal. He also has begun to work on map skills and comprehension skills as related to listening (which will help develop skills for reading comprehension in the future).
Kyrie continues to use the text-mapping technique to enhance her reading comprehension. I am choosing articles "beyond" grade-level, and she has shown good understanding of the material using this method. Kyrie's unit paper was a biography about Martin Luther King Jr., which she wrote using books we read aloud, as well as, information from magazines and timelines. For her thematic project, she chose to write an acrostic poem about MLK.
