We did very well with our story last week, All Eyes on the Pond. We really are learning all about animals in our Georgia Habitat. On Tuesday and Thursday morning, we will be going to the library to research our chosen animal. We will learn researching skills like using the encyclopedias, using periodicals and magazines, and also properly searching the internet.
We will read My Great Aunt Arizona as it is a beautiful story about using your imagination to travel to different places! We will work on the following skills: vocabulary from our story, summarizing the literature, action verbs, spelling, and compound words. We will also learn the different types of reference materials like dictionaries, globes, almanacs, atlas, and encyclopedias.
