This week, we are wrapping up our reading of The Circuit, reading an interview with the author, a writing our own informational texts (in the form of magazine articles) about the challenges that migrant workers face. Also, Monday is the National Day of Writing with the theme #writemycommunity, so we are brainstorming the communities we are a part of, listing the people that we appreciate in those communities, and choosing one to write a letter of gratitude to. In the process we learned from Soulpancake about The Science of Happiness - showing gratitude increases the level of your happiness!
Our skill of the week is AAAWWUBBIS front branch sentences. AAAWWUBBIS words are used in phrases to add extra information to our sentences. AAAWWUBBIS words include (but are not limited to): as, although, after, while, when, unless, before, because, if, since. Listen to this song or practice here!
