Subjects at a Glance
Math: Unit 5, Operations with Fractions. This unit involves adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators. Students also learned how to find fraction of a fraction and how to multiply fractions using area grids. Students computed fraction of a whole number too. We also studied how to write fractional stories. The last lesson we learned was dividing fractions, finding equal parts of a whole number and part on last Thursday and Friday.
Language Arts:
Reading:We are learning to find the author's purpose of any text. One of our biggest focus is reading two text and comparing the text. Also, we are learning different strategies to use during the M-STEP test.
Writing: We are concluding our informational pieces. Next we will write a historical fiction persuasive letter to convince someone to move to our favorite colony.
Poetry Anthology: We are reviewing the literary devices we learned this year.
Social Studies: We are studying the colonies and why the colonies were founded. The final week of March, We explore the road to American Revolution.
