Academic Updates
Math
This week, we will continue working on division using decimal numbers. We will also be working on problem solving using all four operations and decimal numbers.
Language Arts
We will be continuing Unit 4 of our ELA curriculum. This unit has a fiction focus, and we are reading texts that address the essential questions: How does understanding other perspectives help us evaluate the world around us? As a part of this unit, we are doing a novel study on Esperanza Rising. We will also be working on narrative writing as we rewrite a scene from the novel from another character's point of view.
Social Studies
We will be finishing our unit on Explorers. Our unit test will be given this Friday, November 30. A study guide will be sent home on Monday or Tuesday. Please encourage your child to study a little bit every day in order to prepare for the test. They will be required to study for tests in Middle School, and I am hoping to help them develop good study habits this year. Students should also be studying for their next States & Capitals test. The next test will be given on Friday, December 7.
Science
We are taking a break from Science while we focus on Social Studies.
