Reading – This week, we will learn a new
Theme Time (Social Studies, Health,

Students will practice finding clues in a story to
discover important information that was not directly
stated in the text. I will also introduce the
Metacognitive Strategy “Making Connections”.
Students will learn how to identify the similarities
between a story and something that has happened
in their own lives.
