Rational Numbers
This week mathematicians focused on developing their understandings of equivalent fractions. We found equivalent fractions by using area models, number lines, multiplication, and division. We have started to learn about comparing fractions.
Please remember to be practicing your math facts nightly!
Geometry
This week you helped your children learn and understand angles and unit angles. Please remember to watch the "Visual Learning" lesson and attempt the "Convince Me" at home. On Fridays there will be a teacher lesson followed with skill practice.
Today students are assigned their Week 3 Assignment. This week students will be learning about Measuring with Unit Angles. Thank you for your help and support at home!
Social Studies
This week in our Westward Expansion unit, students focused on studying about Missouri becoming a state, the Oregon Trail, and important cities to Missouri during Westward Expansion. Students also started an Oregon Trail journal! Ask your child to view it from their Google Classroom accounts at home!
Science
The Ninjas are currently studying their Weather and Water unit with Ms. Hof.
Reading
In reading this week, we continued to focus on researching topics around the Revolutionary War. Students celebrated their learning with skits about their subtopics.
We are now preparing for our reenactment of the First Continental Congress and debate! Students will be taking the perspective of a Patriot or Loyalist and arguing whether or not the colonies should declare independence.
Writing
In writing this week, students continued to draft and revise their books about the American Revolution. We focused on elaboration within our writing pieces.
