Math- Students are continuing to explore multiplication and dig in to division, which is quite a struggle if you aren't solid with your times tables. Students should be working towards memorizing all multiplication facts through 12 X 12. Five minutes a day of XtraMath and/or flashcards will help your student develop their fluency. Problem solving continues to be a focus and applying all of the strategies we've learned so far. Students must be able to visualize a real world math problem to determine whether it is a multi-step problem. They must also be able to understand what computation should be used and circle key numbers, box key terms, and show their work. In the coming weeks, we’ll be learning about fraction equivalence and comparing fractions using <,> and = symbols.
Language Arts- Our literary nonfiction: Learning from the lives of others unit concludes tomorrow with our Living Museum from 10:45-11:30. We will be exploring and writing Fairy Tales next!
Science- We will be beginning our unit on Space. Students will examine the relationship of the Sun, Earth, and the Moon, identify the planets in Earth’s Solar System and their position in relation to the Sun. Students will also describe and illustrate the Sun as a star made up of gases that provides heat and light energy.
Social Studies- Economics/personal finance unit is next. More information to come in next weeks Thursday folder.
