Monday, January 16th-No School
Math
This week, we will be starting fractions. We will start with halves, quarters, eigths and sixteenths.
Reading
We are working on a non-fiction unit. We have been reading a variety of non-fiction articles and identifying the conventions of non-fiction such as captions, bold print, italics, table of contents, index, etc. Students should continue reading an independent book of their choice and writing weekly letters.
Writing
We have learned all about feature articles and now we will start writing! Students will decide on topics this week and begin researching. They will need to interview one or two people on their topic. This can be a parent, friend, family member, teacher or maybe even an expert in the area they are researching. We will work on research skills this week and will work on rough drafts next week.
Science
We are starting the floating and sinking unit. Students need 5 small objects to test on Monday. These objects should not be larger than their hand and can go underwater!
Have a great week!
