Math - We are continuing to use distributive property in multiplication. We will also practice multiplication word problems. Homework will look a little different than usual. We need to review some geometry for the upcoming Performance Matters Exam. We also are practicing basic multiplication facts and 4-digit by 1-digit problems.
Social Studies - This week is Founder's Week!!!! We will be researching our country's founding fathers and studying the Declaration of Independence. We are also learning about the three branches of government.
Reading - We are going to generate "I Wonder" statements from a nonfiction text. Students will create KWL (know, want to know, learned) charts. We are going to practice some test taking strategies as well. These include restating the question in open response and including evidence from the text. We will also look at eliminating answers in multiple choice questions.
Writing - We are practicing persuasive writing. I will also be teaching compound and complex sentences.
Science - We will be using our science time to sharpen our ability to thoroughly research a topic.
