Math: We have entered into the world of division. These next two weeks students will begin dividing two digit dividends by a single divisor, interpreting remainders, dividing tens, hundreds, thousands, estimate, and divide using a variety of strategies such as partial quotients, repeated subtraction, distributive property, and division with regrouping (traditional method).
Reading: After coming back from break we discussed what a credible source/website is and they have since begun to research their person for their biography.
Spelling/Grammar/Writing: In Grammar we will begin working on diagramming sentences. In Spelling we will be focusing on short vowel sounds and silent consonants in the beginning, middle, and end of the word. Students are wrapping up their research for their bottle buddies and then will begin drafting their biographical pieces using their research.
Science: Students are learning about weather and then will begin working on Earth and Space.
Social Studies: We are learning all about the Midwest Region! Students are studying the states and capitals within that region. Students will also be taking a test to identify the states and capitals within the region. They will be able to retake until they reach 100% mastery. We are learning about the Midwest region, specifically the land and water, natural resources, culture, and landmarks.
Religion: We are familiarizing ourselves with using the bible to look up scritputre as well as meditating on the word. We will begin learning about the Sacraments.
Announcements/ Reminders:
