What We are Learning
READING & WRITING
Reading this week, we will continue with our Nonfiction unit. Learners are learning ways how nonfiction texts become increasingly complex and understanding those complexities. We also will continue our new read-aloud book, Prairie Lotus by Linda Sue Park. This is the 2020 Global Read Aloud Book.
Math
In Math, learners began a new unit on operations with fractions. Learners explored different web sites to work interactively with fractions. They practiced representing different problems that included addition and subtraction of fractions.
SCIENCE
In Science, learners are exploring all the different kinds of energy and their uses. This week explored thermal and sound energy. Learners conduct experiments at home and create videos to explain their learning.
SOCIAL STUDIES
In Social Studies this week, we learned about the Founding Fathers. Learners read biographies and created a trading card of the Founding Fathers.
