Learning Units:
Reading - Main Idea & Supporting Details - Students will be reading in reading groups at their instructional level with nonfiction books. We will work on main idea with supporting details, use of text features throughout reading, and drawing conclusions. As a class, we will begin reading Stone Fox together and work on summarizing chapters and comprehension questions.
Writing - New Year’s Resolutions - Students have started creating their own goals for the upcoming year. Students are working on putting their thoughts and details into paragraphs and will publish a piece next week to display their writing.
Math - Relating Multiplication to Division- Students wrap up Unit 4, and have their test on Friday. Students will be bringing home a study guide to complete at home on Monday. Please sign and return the study guide after your child completes it and you go over it together. This unit covers relationships between multiplication and division, place value understanding, and the properties of operations to multiply and divide whole numbers within 100. They will also represent and solve two-step word problems using the four operations. We will still practice multiplication fluency daily!
Science - Patterns of Survival- Students will begin a new unit in science next week called Patterns of Survival. This unit will include looking at organisms in different ecosystems, and their adaptations to survive. Later in the unit, students will learn about extreme weather conditions and weather patterns.
Health - Healthy Coping Strategies- Students will explore different types of coping strategies when dealing with stress. They will also be able to explain some ways to help others.
