Language Arts-(Writing,Vocabulary and Making connections)
The kids continued with their journal. After reading the fifth chapter they had to complete questions about the chapter, write a character trait map, look up vocabulary words and draw scenery pictures. They also made predictions, wrote chapter titles, asked question, and made connections about the story. (I used www.teacherspayteachers.com for the journal paperwork).
Art- (Thomas Hart Benton-Paintings that roll like the sea)
We took the time to learn about a wonderful artist named Thomas Hart Benton. Benton was born, lived and died in Missouri, The thread that ties all his work together is his rolling sea like style. We looked at his work online, learned about his life. The kids also colored in a picture that he drew.
Thanks for reading!
