Hi Families!
We are on Week 5 of our distance learning and I hope you all are doing well and are hanging in there! This Wednesday, on our 10:30 Zoom Call, we will be working on a Spalding story together. It is a short paragraph that I will include below and will be reading aloud to the students. We will then be discussing some elements of the story together via the chat box. Spalding Story #28 The Gila monster gets the first part of its name from a river in Arizona. When I asked my dad about the second part of the name, he said, "Well Ava, I guess it comes from its looks." I have never seen one though my family often camps in the desert. That's because Gilas are underground most of the time. Pictures show a large head, bowed legs, and a short tail. The body is scaly and black with pink, yellow, or orange markings. They aren't pretty, but they do fine in the desert. They can go months without eating by storing fat in their tails. It is one of the few poisonous lizards in the world. I don't think I want to see one. Together, we will be talking about text structure and point of view, characters, and main ideas and details of the story. 🙂 Below is our breakdown for this week's lessons: Week 5 starting April 27, 2020 Monday
