Language Arts
In writing, students will be working on their evidence to support
their reasons and building stamina to write long and strong! In reading,
students will notice how texts are organized in order to help them gain more
information while reading.
Math
The students will continue
to use rounding to determine if an answer is reasonable. They will solve
multi-step word problems and assess the reasonableness of answers. Students
will also be learning how to solve two step word problems using the standard algorithm
for addition and subtraction.
Social Studies
Students will use their notes on the different universals and
create slides using the reading structure of Main Idea and and Details. This
will be a class resource, and
hopefully students will also get
time to present their newly learned information to one another.
