Writing

Let's write about landforms! So far, we've learned about canyons, caves, and this week, mountains! One way to record your thinking about these landforms is by making a 3-2-1. Here's how:

1. Choose one of the landforms you've learned about (do the one you are most interested in!)

2. First, write 3 super cool, amazing facts you learned about this landform

3. Next, write down 2 questions you still have about this landform.

4. Last, write down 1 connection you have to this landform. For example, a connection could be that you've seen this landform in real life. Have you ever visited a canyon or cave? We are surrounded by mountains. Have you ever hiked up one of the mountains in Vermont? 

Share your writing with your teacher! We love seeing what you are doing at home!


Science: Landforms! 

This week we are going to learn all about mountains! Vermont is the Green Mountain State, so we are familiar with this landform! We can see mountains in every direction. Have you ever wondered how mountains were formed? Take a look at these videos and you'll find out!





Here are some great books about mountains on Epic Books!

Postcard Challenge
