Landforms

This week in geography, we are learning about landforms. I am adding some web sites that your child can use to learn more about landforms. Today they played a concentration game with landform cards. Both cards had the picture of a particular landform, but one had the name of the landform and the other had the definition. As they played, they learned new information. After playing the game with a partner, they colored the cards.

We are also learning about Author's Purpose. There are 3 main reasons why author's write and we can remember them with the acronym PIE: persuade, inform, and entertain. Today students cut and glued a foldable into their interactive notebooks about author's purpose. Tomorrow, they will search the classroom for examples of different purposes.We also learned some rules for making the plural forms of nouns, which we also put in our interactive notebooks.
