We'll be reading about shadows this week as we continue learning about light energy. We will also learn about friction and that some colors absorb heat, while others reflect, or take in, heat.
Reading
Our text this week is Biblioburro. It's a nonfiction story about a traveling library that brings books to children in faraway villages from the backs of two donkeys. We will be discussing the comprehension strategies of understanding key details in a text as well as using text features to locate facts.
