This week we will begin thinking deeper about characters and the problems they face. We will pay attention to all the qualities of a character, what they do and don’t like, and how they feel. As we read longer books, we will also think about how the parts of the book go together and how the events impact the main character.

Writing:
This week we will begin our next unit on opinion writing! We are going to begin digging deep into books that have characters that we love. As writers, we will practice writing letters where we share ideas that we have about the characters in our books. We will practice stating our opinions and sharing examples.
