Literacy/Reading
This week in literacy, we explored the idea of Manifest Destiny and what it meant to the United States. Without this belief, where would the United States be?
Next week, we will do a Reader's Theater play about the division of the North and South leading up to the Civil War.
Math
In math this week we will be finishing our volume unit. We have covered several formulas for finding the volume volume of rectangles as well as how to break apart irregular figures and find their volume. We will take a volume test on Friday. Please look for corrections on Monday next week.
Next week in math, we will review our last unit of multiplication, division and decimals through some fun winter themed activities. Please have your child continue to practice math facts. At this point I would like to see them lightning fast with no hesitation.
Hope you all enjoy your winter break!
