What will we be learning this week?
Reading: character’s point of view
Math: multi-step word problems, subtraction on an open number line
Writing: opinion writing, fact and opinion
Science: Space
Reading: Point of view:
In terms of both cognitive development and social development, it is important that students learn to "step into someone else's shoes." This week we will show that people's perception of the world affects how they act and feel about other people and events.
You can practice this at home with your child.
1. Begin by discussing with your child how different people have varying perspectives on events. For example, a police officer might describe a crime differently than the accused criminal would.
2. With your child, pick a favorite fairy tale. Then challenge her to tell it from a different perspective. For instance, she could retell Cinderella from the point of view of the prince or one of the stepsisters. Or how about Snow White from the viewpoint of one of the dwarfs?
3. For another version of this activity, try telling a family story from a different point of view. This could be a holiday story from a grandparent's perspective or a vacation story from the perspective of the youngest child or the family pet.
