Math
This week in our Multiplication and Division unit we focused on solving comparison word problems and multi-step word problems involving all operations! This is a skill we will continue to focus on throughout the school year.
Please make sure that your child is practicing their math facts nightly! Online Practice Buddies are also assigned and are a great way for your child to practice math concepts at home!
Science
The Ninjas are wrapping up their Structures of Life unit next week with Mrs. Waters. They will be assessing their learning on December 14.
Social Studies
This week we focused on the Lewis and Clark Expedition (Corps of Discovery). They took a virtual field trip along the trail! We will be assessing our learning over our Early Settlement unit the week of December 18.
Reading
In our Views, Values, and Cultures of Others unit this week we continued to focus on identifying points of view in a text and comparing perspectives. Our next reading unit after break will include learning about the American Revolution! We will start to compare perspectives of the Loyalists vs. the Patriots starting next week to build background knowledge.
Please remember to read 30 minutes nightly!
Writing
This week in our unit of poetry, writers selected themes for their personal anthologies. We also focused on adding similes and metaphors into our poems.
