On Level Math
Homework:
Monday- textbook page 143/144 even numbers only
Tuesday- textbook page 289/290 odd numbers only
Wednesday- none (science X all day)
Thursday- textbook page 15/16
In this unit, students will:
•Solve problems by representing mathematical relationships between quantities using mathematical expressions and equations.
• Use the four whole number operations efficiently, including the application of order of operations.
• Write, evaluate, and interpret mathematical expressions with and without using symbols.
• Apply strategies for multiplying a 2- or 3-digit number by a 2-digit number.
• Develop paper-and-pencil multiplication algorithms (the U.S. traditional algorithm is not an expectation) for 3- or 4-digit number multiplied by a 2- or 3-digit number.
• Apply paper-and-pencil strategies for division (the strategies should be based on place-value reasoning - the U.S. traditional algorithm is not an expectation)
• Solve problems involving multiplication and division.
• Investigate the effects of multiplying whole numbers by powers of 10.

Social Studies
In this unit, students will:
SS5H2 Describe U.S. involvement in World War I and post-World War I America.
a. Explain how German attacks on U.S. shipping during the war in Europe (1914-1917) ultimately led the U.S. to join the fight against Germany; include the sinking of the Lusitania and concerns over safety of U.S. ships, U.S. contributions to the war, and the impact of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919.
b. Describe the cultural developments and individual contributions in the 1920s of the Jazz Age (Louis Armstrong), the Harlem Renaissance (Langston Hughes), baseball (Babe Ruth), the automobile (Henry Ford), and transatlantic flight (Charles Lindbergh).

Reading
In Reading, we are working on establishing discussion guidelines, taking our iready diagnostic which gives personalized reading instruction to students at every level, and setting the stage for their first reading small groups where they will get a chance to read and discuss with similar readers.
Homework in Reading for the week:
Monday: Practice with the root word “man”, meaning hand
Tuesday: Analogies
Wednesday: No HW
Thursday: Practice with Quotation Marks
Language Arts
Writing
In writing, they’ll be shown their rubric/checklist for their writing to be assessed, practice analyzing a previously written piece, and choosing/drafting the stories they want to take to the publication phase over the next week.
Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, descriptive details, and clear event sequences.
