I hope your week is off to a great start! Below you can find an overview of what to expect this week.
Literacy: Students will continue to read their assigned novels and study the main character. Mini-lessons will focus on studying character motivation and reviewing characterization and plot elements. During the writing block, we'll create our ABC book covers and begin researching for a topic students chose prior to winter vacation.
Science: Learning about the different forces that change and shape our Earth (wind, water, ice, and volcanoes and earthquakes) will continue throughout the week. Students will take the final assessment on Friday. They may use the text on the assessment.
Math: We'll begin unit 4 this week. Unit 4 teaches students strategies for solving multi-digit multiplication. Students will also review area and perimeter concepts in this unit. A new Home Links packet was passed out today.
Thursday we will take a field trip to the Chicago History Museum.
