Academics
Decimals-This week we will be working on drawing models to represent mixed numbers, writing mixed numbers in expanded form, and making equivalent decimals.
Geometry-We will work on identifying shapes containing parallel and perpendicular lines, drawing and measuring angles, and decomposing angles with pattern blocks.
Literacy-This week we will focus on figurative language during our reading block. We will also continue working on close reading passages using Scholastic News. During our Writing time, we will be working on adding details and extending paragraphs. We will have a practice writing prompt later this week to put these skills into action.
