In Writer's Workshop, we will review the steps of editing our work. Steps include rereading our writing at least twice, checking our spelling and capital letters, having a friend check our work, and clearly marking changes we made.
Math
Next, we will start our topic on Fractional Parts. We will determine whether a given shape is divided into equal or unequal parts. We will also describe equal parts of a whole by looking at shapes divided into equal parts and determining how many are shaded.
