What are we learning this week?
ELA: During ELA this week, we will look over the on demand writing the kids did last week and they will have an opportunity to review their piece and set goals. From here on out, we will be giving one on demand task per month to help the kids improve this skill and work on the goals they set each time.
Also, during ELA, the kids will begin gathering research on famous people and battles from the Civil War. Late in the week, the will begin planning and developing a writing piece about how a specific person or battle impacted the Civil War.
Math: We will wrap up the current fraction unit Wednesday and move on to adding and subtracting fraction at the end of the week.
Social Studies: This week we will finish studying the Revolutionary War and move on to studying the history of the U.S. Constitution.
Have a great week! :o)
