Reading/Language Arts
This week third grade read "Yonder Mountain-A Cherokee Legend" in which the chief of the tribe has to pick a new leader. Three young Native American men are given a task to see which one possesses the skills to be the next leader of the tribe. The comprehension skill covered comparing and contrasting. The vocabulary strategy has focused on homophones and homographs. The students worked on contractions in phonics. For the grammar skill, the class worked on subject-verb agreement.
