Math Corner
We have now started using our multiplication facts to improve our division fact fluency. We are continuing to work on mastery of multi-step word problems that end with an equation and a variable. Ask you child how flow-maps can help them organize these situations.
We are also working on representing and solving word problems that require the multiplication of whole numbers and decimals. Students have been introduced to the ratio table, distributive property and the model as another way to solve these type of word problems. All of these strategies can be used in place of the traditional algorithm.
Soon we will also be working on representing and solving word problems that require the division of mixed number by a whole number. (ie. 2.64 divided by 2 or 0.90 divided by 3)
Science Corner
We will be moving on to designing experiments that show the effect that friction has on force.

Reading
Expository Texts: We have started analyzing expository texts. We are paying close attention to text features and how they enhance the text, text structures, and author's purpose. With this unit we are also practicing identifying central idea, supporting details, and summary.
Writing
Writing: Our writing will be integrated with Social Studies. We will begin an expository writing about European Explorers and their motives for navigating to the Americas.
Grammar: We are focused on complete sentences, variety of sentences, and collective nouns.
Bringing History Alive: Social Studies
This is our preferred form of communication
