Goal 2: The learner will apply strategies and skills to comprehend text that is read, heard, and viewed. Goal 3: The learner will make connections with text through the use of oral language, written language, and media and technology.
Goal 4: The learner will apply strategies and skills to create oral, visual and written texts. Goal 5: The learner will apply grammar and language conventions to communicate effectively. Social Studies – Goal 2: The learner will examine the importance of the role of ethnic groups and examine the multiple roles they have played in the development of North Carolina. Science – Goal 1: The learner will make observations and conduct investigations to build an understanding of animal behavior and adaptation. Math – Goal 1: Number and Operations – The learner will read, write, model, and compute with non-negative rational numbers. Activities/Strategies: We will begin the day with the reading of Snow Treasure by Marie McSwigan.
The teacher will read aloud the first 10 chapters, stopping along the way to introduce vocabulary (Norway, Norse, kroner, Nazi, etc. ) and geography (Norway, the Arctic Circle, Poland, Germany, Britain, and France). The day’s activities will also include a summary written by the students on what has been read to them thus far. They will be asked to begin to think what role the Norse have played in the development of our country and what, if any, they have played in our state. We will also discuss how both humans and animals adapt to such a cold, harsh climate. During math, we will continue talking about Norway and their system of currency. We will work on currency conversions, starting with a basic lesson and then moving on to using the web site www. xe. om to practice further. We will further this concept in the computer lab in the afternoon with www. ixl. com.

Math – Goal 1: Number and Operations – The learner will read, write, model, and compute with non-negative rational numbers. Activities/Strategies: We will begin the day with the reading of Snow Treasure by Marie McSwigan. The teacher will read aloud chapters 11-20, stopping along the way to introduce any new vocabulary and/or geography. The day’s activities will also include a summary written by the students on what has been read to them thus far.
They will be asked to revisit our discussion about what role the Norse have played in the development of our country and what, if any, they have played in our state. We will also discuss what animals indigenous to our country could survive in Norway. During math, we will continue talking about Norway and how they moved their gold from the cave to the Snake. We will work on word problems that revisit such a conundrum to figure what it would take to move amounts from site to site.

Math – Goal 4: Data Analysis and Probability – The learner will understand and use graphs, probability, and data analysis.
Healthful Living Education – Goal 6: The learner will demonstrate competency in a variety of movement forms and proficiency in a few to gain competence towards lifetime physical activities (NASPE Standard 1). Activities/Strategies: We will begin the day with the reading of Snow Treasure by Marie McSwigan. The teacher will read aloud chapters 21-30, stopping along the way to introduce any new vocabulary and/or geography. The day’s activities will also include a summary written by the students on what has been read to them thus far. They will be asked to revisit our discussion about what role the Norse have played in the development of our country and what, if any, they have played in our state.
Students will be asked to draw pictures of what adaptations they believe that we as North Carolinians would need to make to survive in Norway. In this picture, they will also draw a picture of their favorite NC indigenous animal with their adaptations. During math, we will wrap up our discussion on Norway with a Venn diagram comparing and contrasting the Norse with Americans. We will further this with a bar graph of what students believe to be attributes common to both countries. To wrap-up our journey into Norway, we will practice our “ sled-moves” during recess. The students will work both individually as well as in pairs to come up with the most original slalom.
