- +1 personal word to be decided as a class on Monday morning
In Writer's Workshop, we will continue to work on the different steps of editing. We will also review identifying a main idea and three details to support the main idea.
Math
In our Fractional Parts unit, students will show parts of a set. For example, two out of three students have their hand raised. Students will also be able to describe parts of a set. We will finish the topic by drawing pictures to solve problems related to parts of a group.
