Math Test!
This Thursday, we will have a math test over place value of whole numbers and
decimals. Please feel free to go over the review sheets I'm sending home today
and tomorrow to help your child prepare. There are also several websites your

Finally, here is what we'll be doing this week in class!
Math: In math, we are wrapping up and reviewing whole
number and decimal place value skills. On Friday, we will begin adding with
decimals.
Social Studies: During social studies this week, we will
begin "diving" for artifacts on a sunken ship. The kids will simulate diving
and studying artifacts that may have been found on a ship that sunk during the
age of exploration to learn about motives for exploration.
Word Study: During word study this week, we will do
different activities to review some of the words that have been added to our
word wall over the past couple of months.
Reading & Writing: We will continue our Clues to a
Culture ELA unit. Today the kids began developing their own trickster tales
after examining Native American trickster tales. We will also learn how to
collect clues through a culture by examining photographs and reading materials
to try to understand different perspectives.
