Math
In math this week we continued with our Patterns and Measurement unit. Concepts we focused on included...
- converting from larger units to smaller units using the metric and customary systems
- finding the area and perimeter of rectangle
- extending number and shape patterns
If your child completed 30 minutes of review practice with their packet, please make sure that it is signed and returned by Monday for no more math homework the rest of the year!
Social Studies
This week we began our Slavery, Civil War, and Reconstruction unit. We introduced this unit with a read aloud book, January's Sparrow.
Reading
This week we prepared for the MAP by reviewing concepts, test taking strategies, and the online MAP tools.
Please make sure that your child reads 30 minutes nightly!
Writing
In writing we wrapped up our Literary Essay unit! We celebrated by sharing our favorite lines from our essays. These were sent home, so be sure to have your child share them with you! We also had two of our authors debate their claims over the Giving Tree. The class had to decide between these two claims: (1) The Tree was weak, or (2) The Tree was strong.
