Happy Friday Families!
We've settled into our classroom routines and are currently wrapping up targets in literacy and math. Needless to say, our students have been hard at work!
Here are the targets we are currently / planning on working to master over the next couple of weeks:
Literacy
* Summarize a text (story, poem, or drama).
Writing
* Orient the reader by establishing a situation and introducing a narrator and/or characters.
* Organize an event sequence that unfolds naturally.
Math
* Find whole-number quotients with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
Social Studies
* Locate, on a map, the major river systems of the world.
* Describe the location of countries relative to the locations of other countries.
Science
