Reading
This week we will be continuing our second integrated reading unit that focuses on energy. We will be starting work on an energy choice board that will have students completing different energy related tasks. Throughout this unit we will be examining why energy is an important part of our lives.
Remember students should be recording their 30 minutes of reading every night on their home reading log and turning it in every Friday!
Math
This week we will be discussing decimals and their relation to fractions. Students will be working daily through a rotation of four stations (independent work, hands on activity, technology practice, teacher group).
Remember students should be completing their math practice problems during the course of the week on turning them in every Friday!
