Learning Summary Reach for Reading Unit 7 BIG Question: What does it take to explore space?

During this 9th week of at-home learning, 4th graders will complete Unit 7 of their Reach for Reading curriculum. Students will read a biography titled, “The First Person on the Moon”, adapted from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) website. At the culmination of this unit, fourth graders will think critically to synthesize their learning over the last four weeks. They will achieve this by citing explicit details and examples from texts, making comparisons, and integrating information. Fourth graders will continue to demonstrate their understanding of key math, science, and other academic vocabulary acquired throughout Unit 7. They will also hone foundational reading skills, as they work more with prepositional phrases and roots.
