Reading: This week we learned about author's purpose. Students practiced reading different articles and deciding why the author wrote that piece. Ask your child about what each letter stands for in our Author's Purpose acronym, PIE!
Writing: This week we continued to read and and write nonfiction. Students used their paraphrasing to finish writing, revised and edited and created their own non fiction book on their topic!
Math: This week we finished up unit 7, taking the unit 7 test on Wednesday and took the unit 8 pre-test on Thursday. Skills for unit 8, homelinks and the at home review will be sent home after we complete our mini unit on fractions next week!
Social Studies: This week we continued learning about Democracy and Government. Students learned about their responsibility to vote, discussed the three branches of government and learned about a few of our famous presidents. Next week, we will begin our Economics unit. In this unit we will be having a bake sale to teach students about producers, consumers, goods, services, scarcity and opportunity cost. Please keep an eye out for an email coming soon with more details!
