What's Happening?
Reading
This week we will be continuing to work on comparing and contrasting the same theme in different pieces of traditional literature.
Writing
This week we will be continuing to work on revising and editing while drafting a typed version of our realistic fiction story. Students will also be working on starting a second story that follows the same character.
Math
This week we will be working on problems with 3 & 4 digit dividends and 1 digit divisors using the area model and partial quotients. Students will work daily through our guide math rotations (technology, hands on, independent, & teacher).
