WHAT WE ARE LEARNING
READING & WRITING
We started our Nonfiction unit. Learners are learning ways how nonfiction texts become increasingly complex and understanding those complexities. We also started our new read aloud book, Prairie Lotus by Linda Sue Park. This is the 2020 Global Read Aloud Book.
Math
Learners represent quotients of decimals up to the hundredths, up to four-digit dividends and two-digit whole number divisors, using objects and pictorial models, including area models. They also worked on solving quotients of decimals using strategies and algorithms including the standard algorithm.
SCIENCE
Learners completed the Science MAP assessment this week. Also, learners were also able to communicate and demonstrate the properties of matter through multi activities.
SOCIAL STUDIES
Learners read and worked on a timeline of events leading to the American Revolution.
