Thursday –
Mini Lesson
 Yesterday readers we really paused and began to think really deeply about a historical fiction passage and developed an idea about the story. Once we have an idea of what a story is about our mind changes and we begin to read the story a little different we read it almost like we have sun glasses on. We read on with our interpretaion in mind and we say Ah yes  or huh no way That does not fit  Doing this is one way that we continue to develop our ideas. So today I want you to focus on some vocabulary words

VOCAB WORDS
Opportunity border strikes boycott  ecosystem

I want you to create 4 circle maps to define these words. Here is an example. I gave you 5 words that fit our passage and one does not. You need to think about the story and decide which words fit the story. Those are the only 4 circle maps I want to see in your notebook. If the word made you think Huh  That does not fit. Do not create a circle map for it.

Unit of Study: Ecosystem

We dont do research just to become fact combers collecting facts like a beach comber that collect pretys shells. We cup our hands around one bit of the world  and for us that is California, because we want to become wiser about the world. Specifically today I want to teach you that researchers need not only to collect but researchers, also need to think.+
explain to me one relationship between living and nonliving things in your ecosystem.
 For example: Elephants rely on mud in in the savanna to keep them cool. They use the mud by rubbing it on their bodies with their trunks to keep to protect their skin from the sun similar to the way people use sunblock to protect their skin.
