Week of Oct 29th

Grammar/Writing
We will continue our opinion writing unit. Students will be working on building the body of their essay and producing a strong conclusion.  

Math
We will continue to work on mastering long division.  This can be a very challenging task, so practice at home is beneficial!  We will soon be introducing decimals to our division strategies, so again...practice, practice, practice! 

Reading
We will be learning about identifying different text structures in informational text. Students will practice reading paired passages and using graphic organizers to gain deeper understanding of the information that they read.

Science
We will be studying microorganisms.  With our new topic, we will be practicing Close Reading Strategies.  Close Reading helps with Comprehension and is essential in the reading process.  We are developing our grasp of the RACE strategy, which is a process used to answer Constructed Responses. We will also conduct labs to enhance mastery of the subject.

Social Studies
Your child will be practicing Close Reading Strategies to gain deeper understanding of social studies topics. We are currently learning about World War I and its impact.
