Curriculum Overview
Welcome to the thrilling second unit of Norse Mythology! This unit takes us on a deeper exploration of the rich body of myths of the North Germanic peoples, a heritage that has continued to captivate us from its roots in Norse paganism to its evolution into the Scandinavian folklore of the modern period.
There will be an opportunity to review the learning portfolio from the first unit of Norse Mythology so that you and your child can recall the characters and where you left off in the book. You will also have an opportunity to see what they remember of the language arts content from that month. This unit will be another opportunity to focus on Language Arts. There will be special attention to further developing grammar and writing skills. Your child will continue to gain skills with dictionary use, reading aloud, and oral language features.
You will guide your child to review the parts of speech already learned: nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and prepositions. In this unit, they will learn about the use of articles, conjunctions, and interjections. Your child will work more with the comma, exclamation mark, and question mark as they learn about the Four Types of Sentences.
These Norse stories are not just educational, they're also lively and fun! There will be wonderful opportunities to review them in creative ways. If your child loves acting, then dressing up and acting out the stories would be a great, entertaining way to review!
