- word work: Spelling words can be found in your child’s planner & on the Kids A-Z app in their kindle. In our small, differentiated groups, we continue with our word study, thinking about our spelling patterns and applying them to ALL words, not just the ones on our list! Spelling tests are scheduled for this Friday.

We will read all about the tribe’s lifestyle; food, clothing, shelter, region, etc. As we conclude the research portion, each group will work together on creating and building their own dioramas highlighting their tribes.

Have a wonderful week,
