Learning Units:
Reading - Summarizing & Vocabulary - Students will be reading in reading groups at their instructional level, but also practice reading passages that are on grade level. Students will be working on summarizing fictional stories and work on vocabulary words that could have multiple meanings.
Writing - Opinion - Students will be starting an Opinion writing piece next week. They will have to argue and persuade readers to either choose a dog, or a cat as their pet. They will be writing reasons that include factual information to support their thinking.
Math - Area & Multiplication - Students will continue Unit 2 next week and will encounter the concept of area, relate the area of rectangles to multiplication, and solve problems involving area.
Science - Life Cycles- Students will continue learning about life cycles in plants and animals. They will be able to explain characteristics inherited from parents or influenced by the environment. We have started exploring and looking at different types of seeds. Next week we will plant wheat grass in class.
Health - Healthy & Unhealthy Influences- Students will distinguish between healthy and harmful influences. This will include talking about how to make positive health choices, and to stand up for ourselves when others try to influence us to do a possible dangerous activity.
