In conjunction with the Invention Convention and our upcoming famous women study, in honor of Women's History Month, Mrs. Pathak shared the following link for Ohio State's Introducing a Girl to Engineering Day (IGED). This an all day (8.00 a.m. to 3.30 p.m.) event on Sat, April 20. This looks like a great opportunity for your young female scientists and mathematicians.
- I can write and read lowercase cursive "hill" letters: m and n.
- I can correct sentences for convention (capitals, punctuation) and grammar (tense, subject verb agreement).
- I can combine sentences using transition and linking words.
- I can recognize vowel-r teams (e.g., vertical).
- I can hear how the r changes the vowel sound in vowel-r teams.
- I can hear how the r changes the vowel sound in vowel-r teams.
Reading
- I can state the main idea of a passage.
- I can differentiate between main idea and supporting details.
- I can compare and contrast topics.
Writing
