SEL: Being an effective communicator is our January learner characteristic focus. Additionally, we will spend time studying Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Reading: Our second module is called What a Story. Our essential question is "How does genre affect the way a story is told?" This week, we will use a play to practice reading strategies, learn vocabulary, answer comprehension questions, and practice our RACES paragraph response writings. There will also be short grammar lessons sprinkled throughout our week. Don't forget Into Reading has an online component. Students can reread our stories and practice vocabulary under the "Assignments" tab in Into Reading.

Social Studies: Chapter 5, Lesson 3 is "The First Colonies."
