Students read, Mountains: Survivving on Mt. Everest and The Big Cleanup.
Our target comprehension skills are “Text and Graphic features” Students will infer and predict as they read. 
Phonics: words with –less, -ness, -able
Vocabulary: Analogies: students learn that a kind of comparison in which one pair of words in compared to another is called an analogy. It is like a word puzzle. The first pair of words is related in some way; the second pair is related in the same way. We work to figure out how they are related.
Fluency: Expression: Word choice and punctuation marks signal what kind of expression a reader should use. Reading with expression is one way to make a story interesting and easier to understand. We practice using this intonation as we read aloud.
Essential Question: Why do mountain climbers need to be well-prepared?
