In math this week we are starting a new unit on fractions. This week focuses mostly on adding and subtracting fractions and comparing them. We will do several hands on activities in our classrooms to help them learn this skill.
We are still not doing spelling this week.
In science this week, we are continuing to learn about electricity. We are discussing electric currents and magnets. We will be reading, answering questions in our packets, and watching Bill Nye the Science Guy videos. There will not be a test after this unit. Instead, the students will be given 2 class periods to complete hands on investigations independently. These investigations directly relate back to what we have studied this unit.
In reading, we will continue to work on drawing conclusions. We are now moving into doing this with non-fiction text. We will be reading several articles on our presidents and drawing conclusions over those articles and other non-fiction books.
In writing, we will be reviewing different parts of grammar. They will be practicing these skills daily in other subject areas as well as during our journal writing time.
