Unit 5Essential Question: What causes someone to be called a hero? We are reading, Roberto Clemente, Pride of the Pittsburgh Pirates by Jonah Winter. It is a biography about the life of Roberto Clemente and how he worked hard on and off the field to become a hero. Our reading skill is cause and effect. Talk to your child about events in his/her life that have a cause and effect relationship. (I was hungry so I ate breakfast. I spilled my milk so I had to wipe the table.)
