MATH
In Unit 4, we are working on calculating fact extensions and also accurately multiplying with multi digit numbers. In order to do this, the children have learned how to decompose and also partition numbers to make them easier to multiply. In addition, we are converting units of measurement.
LITERACY
We are still studying Persuasive writing.The students are working on a Persuasive writing activity designing their own unique sandwich and then convincing others how good it is and to buy it. They are really enjoying themselves!
SCIENCE/ SOCIAL STUDIES
In Science, the students did an excellent job with their water filters. We presented them this week. In Social Studies, we will be studying the Civil Rights Movement.
