The Great Kindness Challenge - January 25 to 29
Math with Mrs. Nick
In math, the students have been working with addition and subtraction of fractions with like denominators. They are also working with word problems to determine whether they should add, subtract, multiply or divide. They are also identifying the label that should be included in their answer. They are beginning to learn how to identify types of angles.
Reading with Mrs. Nick
The students have been busy in reading recognizing the difference between firsthand and secondhand accounts in informational texts. In addition, they have been comparing and contrasting different accounts of the same topic or person as well as recognizing the reasons it is important to read multiple sources to gather information. They will be working to recognize the difference between first and third person points of view in literature.
