Language Arts
  • Comprehension skill-Text Structure: Sequence
    • One kind of text structure authors use to organize information in a text. 
    • Dates and key words like first, next, last help to identify the order of events
    • One of the passages we read was about fingerprints. We learned that it is rare to have two fingerprints exactly the same. Our fingerprints do not change over time. We had an interesting discussion about the way fingerprints are being used now to help identify people and thought about what other ways we might use our fingerprints in the future. Some student ideas included:
      • To start our cars
      • Open doors
      • Pay for purchases 
                  What else could our fingerprints be used for? 
  • Vocabulary strategy: Context Clues-Antonyms
    • Some authors use an antonym to explain an unfamiliar word. 
    • Nearby words and phrases can give examples or provide further description of the word. 
  • Grammar: Prepositions
    • ​A word that shows the relationship between a noun or a pronoun and another word in a sentence, such as in, on, under, to, for, with, by, after, and during.
    • The noun or pronoun following a preposition is the object of the preposition.
    • A prepositional phrase is a group of words that includes the preposition, the object of the preposition and any words in between.
    • Prepositions and prepositional phrases tell about location, time or direction, or they provide details.

  • Forms of energy: light, sound, heat
