CURRICULUM
- Reading: Last week we launched our nonfiction reading unit! Students are now sorted by nonfiction interest topics, and during the independent reading time will read with group members of similar interests! This week we are examining strategies required during nonfiction reading, and looking for ways to pinpoint the main idea of a section.
- Writing: This week we are launching our third writing unit- Opinion Writing! During this unit students will learn how to make a claim and support it with reasons, evidence, facts and details. This week we are starting with topics that are dear to our hearts, and are drafting a persuasive piece to present to Mrs. Mueller!
- Math: This week students are using patterns to help solve multiplication and division problems with multiples of 10 and 100. We are also taking a closer look at the distributive property, and how breaking down facts can be an excellent strategy for multiplying and dividing.
- Social Studies: As we wrap our study of the United States, we look ahead to our next unit of study- China!
