Science and social studies will
be integrated into reading this
month. Students will compare
multiple texts about Native
American tribes. They will
also identify animal
adaptations through
informational texts. In guided
reading groups, students will
use textual evidence to make
inferences and support claims.
Students will write a historical
fiction story set in a Native
American time period. They
will include dialogue, sensory
details, and chronological
story elements. Students will
learn how to edit their writing
for capitalization, punctuation
and appropraite setting details.

blocks to show their strategies.
Finally, students will solve
comparison word problems,
using mathematical discourse
to explain their reasoning.

learn about different Native

able to compare how the tribes
used the environment to meet
their needs for shelter,
clothing, and food.
Students will finish observing
