This week in reading we will be working on being aware of nonfiction text features and using them as a tool to help us comprehend a text. We will learn how to highlight textual evidence back in the text to help confirm our answer to comprehension questions. In writing this week we will work on composing our compare paper about our partners and begin another compare paper about Michigan.
In math this week we will focus on story problems involving multiplication AND division. Students will use a story problem organizer to help them determine if a story problem is asking them to multiply or divide. We will continue to work on our one minute multiplication quizzes each day. Please remind your child to practice each night on the fact they have achieved.
In social studies we will complete our regions posters and share them with the class. We will begin our new unit where students will learn about the history of Michigan.
In science we will investigate magnets through our mystery science lessons.
