CURRICULUM
Reading: This week we officially launched bend three in our Nonfiction Reading Unit. For the next two week we are shifting gears and using what we know about narrative work to understanding narrative nonfiction texts. Over the course of these two weeks students will research subjects and will eventually focus on one to develop a special project.
Writing: This week we are adding conclusions to our informational books and exploring different ways to add text features to enhance the information presented. We will start to create our actual books next week.
Math: This week we are exploring the inverse relationship between multiplication and division, and using properties (property of zero, commutative property, associative property) to help tackle problems.
Social Studies: We are working on note-taking and are rotating through a variety of US centers.
