Learning Tasks for Monday, May 17

 Literacy

1. In class, we talked about events. Events are things that happen, for example: falling off of your bike. We also brainstormed a list of questions that you could answer about an event. Choose your own event and answer the following questions about it, do not write a story. If you are having trouble coming up with your own event to write about, write about a child accidentally dropping their ice cream cone on the ground. What is your event? How is the person in the event feeling? What did the person see? What did they hear? What did they taste? What did they touch? What did they smell?
