This week we our beginning a new unit on fossils. During the first part of the unit we will read Stone Girl, Bone Girl and work on retelling the beginning, middle and ending of a story. We will also focus on how characters respond to major events and challenges in the story. Towards the end of the first part of this unit we will read nonfiction text on fossils and learn about the tools that paleontologists use.
Math
