Happy
Friday Families!
It
has been a breath of fresh air this week as we are enjoying some
warmer, spring-like temperatures. It is hard to believe we are
starting our final trimester. Here is what we are/will be working on
in the next couple of weeks:
Literature:
We
have been reading the book Explorers: Triumphs and Troubles. We are
using this text to determine main ideas and details. We are also
determining the author's purpose and point of view. The text is
guiding the students' opinion writing as well. They are finding what
motivated the explorers and supporting those motivations from good
text evidence.
Math:
We
are in Unit 5 working on measurement. This week we have practiced
converting different sized standard measurement within a given
measurement system, and using these conversions to solve multi-step
real-world problems. Next week we will be working on measuring volume
by counting unit cubes.
Science:
We
are wrapping up the body systems unit and will begin light and sound
soon.
Social
Studies:
We
are beginning our patriotism unit. We are starting by looking deeply
into our Pledge of Allegiance and discussing its meaning.
